Hello there, configuring Nix for an out-of-tree build process fails miserably. The patch below mends the cause of failure in "perl/", but "doc/manual/" presents a much harder problem that I am not able to settle. The release nix-1.1 has another early issue in "src/bin2c/", but that directory is no longer in use.
The configuration step for detecting "GNU tar" is also misconceived, since "./configure" need not exist. However, the use of "./config.status" mends this matter.
