Thanks, linking ~/proj/nix/nixpkgs into ~/.nix-defexpr works. But what
is NIX_PATH for? man nix-env says:
NIX_PATH
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up Nix
expressions enclosed in angle brackets
...
The search path can be extended using the -I option, which takes
precedence over NIX_PATH.
