Ouch, right.

For now, ‘guix-daemon’ has to be run like this:

  NIX_SUBSTITUTERS="" guix-daemon &

I’ll change it to be the default, so the env. var. doesn’t need to be set.

That’s because I didn’t want to import Nix’s substituters (scripts that
download pre-compiled binaries), mostly because they’re written in Perl.

We need a replacement, of course, but perhaps after 0.1 is out.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
