 Here is a test failure: http://allmydata.org/buildbot/builders/Ludo
 %20NixOS-amd64/builds/0/steps/test/logs/stdio

 This is because [source:src/allmydata/util/iputil.py] tries to invoke
 {{{/sbin/ifconfig}}} but there isn't a file by that name on NixOS.

 Ludo has patches this for the NixOS package of Tahoe-LAFS, like this:
 https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/tools/networking/p2p
 /tahoe-lafs/default.nix

 He says to see the "patchPhase" part of that file.
