This is done by exploiting the fact that home files will be copied if
the executable bit of the source file and the target file is
different. This should be considered a hack until some nicer solution
is found.
By sanitizing the home file name in the derivation name, the home file
name is no longer exposed to the naming restrictions for nix store
paths.
For example, it is now possible to define home files with spaces in
their names without providing a target or source attribute.
This removes the deprecated use of `xsession.windowManager` as a
string.
This commit also adjusts the xmonad module to become a full module.
I.e., the backwards compatibility hack was removed.
Forcing fpath to contain unique values increases startup speed by
eliminating extra work of processing duplicated folders.
In addition, it increases startup time when zsh is enabled in both
system and home configuration due to having the same fpath value
between different compinit calls.
Fixes https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/issues/108.
Fixes the error
error: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting IND_STR or
DOLLAR_CURLY or IND_STRING_CLOSE, at

When enabled this module will cause Home Manager to manage the user
environment XDG variables. When disabled, then Home Manager will use
the XDG variables taken from the user environment.
Before this path would point to the modules path. Using the project
root instead makes it possible to set `<home-manager>` to point to a
downloadable archive of Home Manager. This should make it
significantly easier to install and keep Home Manager up to date.
To match this change we also deprecate the Home Manager option
programs.home-manager.modulesPath
and instead ask users to use
programs.home-manager.path
Note, we still pull in the user's `PATH` in case the user has defined
their own activation blocks that depend on additional tools.
Eventually this will be deprecated and removed.
See #99.
