11d2cd78e0 - deployment.targetHost is now used for connecting to remote hosts instead of deployment.hostname. This makes more sense.
- fixed error in the manual (nixos-deploy-network => nixos-build-vms)

c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

deb4f88c2c * Let the GRUB menu builder detect whether /boot is on a different
partition from /.  If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
  use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file.  This
  makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete.  (Is there a
  way to mark obsolete options?)  It also makes it unnecessary to set
  boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
  available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
  large.

6b3b22537e * Generate valid DocBook. <emphasis> isn't allowed in a <filename>.
* For manpage generation, work around a bug in the DocBook XSL
  stylesheet by using a <simplelist> instead of a <itemizedlist>
  (which is arguably better anyway).  The indentation of an
  <itemizedlist> lasts beyond the end of that element under certain
  circumstances, it seems.

* Disable the man.endnotes.are.numbered option to prevent endnotes to
  be generated for each xlink:href in the Declarations/Definitions
  lists (which we don't want anyway, I guess).  This causes libxslt to
  get stuck in an infinite (?) loop.

* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.
