feature request: build nix package #8

Description

@Michael-RealT

Hello, thank you for this project, which seems promising and addresses a real need.

I wanted to know if it would be possible to build and publish directly in NiX format so that it can be used with this package manager.

In the context of community development, we have introduced a workflow that uses devcontainers to isolate the code executed on the developers' machines and solve the problem of libraries installed on the host machine, which often causes issues between different operating systems and versions.
We all use the same devcontainer in which only the basic system tools are installed. We then use "make" commands to execute an immutable and reproducible environment, using NiX.

It is for this reproducible use that I propose publishing in NiX format.

While awaiting your response, we will directly install the standard version via script.

I think it makes sense to also offer it in a NiX version, given that the target audience is developers.

Thank you for all this very interesting work.
