Use shlevy/nix-plugins with Lix or Determinate Nix

As in the title. Overriding the buildInputs doesn’t seem to with, and I don’t know the nixVersions and nixComponents for them.

It certainly won’t Just Work with lix, the plugin API is different (and practically unsupported) and there was substantial refactoring since the nix 2.18 split anyway.

Anyway since the only plugin that’s there is a setting that allows adding additional builtins, I suggest looking at how lix already implements builtins and just patching the source accordingly (instead of using a plugin for this).

I’m trying to use builtins.exec in a somewhat restricted manner; are you suggesting I patch lix to include my command? Building it takes a while on my systems, unfortunately.
