Replacing nixcfg with libkookierebuild
Generally, nixcfg grew out of a dotfiles repository, that happened to also have some scripts in it. As more and more of the configuration was replaced with nix specifics (home-manager, etc...), so did nixcfg change over time (previously "stuff"). As part of this, kookiepkgs was introduced along-side nixcfg, to make it easier to add custom things to nixpkgs-based systems (NixOS). Additionally, the core system configuration was handled via private infrastructure repositories, each specific to the machine in question. The problem with this approach is a lot of redundancy when building non-userspace (read home-manager) systems and a lot of chaos with having to cherry-pick commits from different branches to work with nixpkgs trees in development. Ultimately, keeping both new package definitions, patches and configuration for the root system and userspace (home-manager) in the same repository is a _much_ better approach to solving these issues. And as such, libkookie was started: the general idea is that it includes all nix expressions that are relevant to _any_ of my computers. Under `roots`, a machine can have it's primary configuration file which is built andcopied into the nix store, so that nixpkgs can always point at the version a generation was built with, not what is on disk). Overlays contains everything that kookiepkgs used to, modules contains both system-level modules (only required on NixOS), as well as anything that is being built with home-manager. Modules are all kept in the same tree, however some require system-level access while others don't. There could be some kind of list to distinguish the two, so that userspace-only systems can still take advantage of libkookie.
