Pkg has no maintainers set. Its an essential OCaml tool

A small step towards better nix shell infrastructure in Nixpkgs: devShellTools

End goal is to implement all nix shell functionality in Nixpkgs instead. Nix will act as a tiny nix run-like wrapper when pkg.devShell is found (planned).

  • Make the hacks in nix-shell+nix develop obsolete
  • Let stdenv and setup.sh evolve without having to comply with those hacks in Nix
  • Allow more innovation. Nix can’t be pinned in a project whereas Nixpkgs can. This makes Nix conservative about compatibility. Nixpkgs can make changes more freely. It can even develop a v2 or v3 of its shell implementation without disruption.

This little PR has been sitting for a while, to the point where I myself forgot about it. Would be great to merge.

Reworked this PR (started 2022) to include a module and adjustments to pcscd.
