Slightly nicer behavior when updates are somewhat far apart (during a long linking step, perhaps) ensuring things don't appear unresponsive. If we wait the maximum amount for the update, don't bother waiting another 50ms (for rate-limiting purposes) and just check if we should quit. This also ensures we'll notice the request to quit within 1s if quit is signalled but there is not an udpate. (I'm not sure if this happens or not)
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
