[Ur] NixOS package

[Sergey Mironov]

I think it is fine to add both links.  For Haskell packages, people do
publish only the binary link (see
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bzlib for example). But what does
user expect to see is a non-trivial question. NixOS is relatively
modern distribution and IMHO site doesn't represent the best way of
installing packages: experienced user would not go for "one-click
install" link on the site, but rather type 'nix-env -i <package>' to
automatically select the binary (or build it from source if there is
no binary in cache) and install it.
