`nix-profile` support

Unfortunately I am not able to build this with the flake-based nix-profile user environment. I am getting an error when the function from Helpers.sh is attempting to use nix-env.

nix flakes introduce a nix-env successor - nix-profile (man nix3-profile) - which advances the user Nix profile format and is incompatible with nix-env. Packages previously installed with nix-env -iA nixos.<package> are now available with nix profile install nixpkgs/<branch>#<package>. nix-env still works by default but if you use the new tool it will automatically migrate your environment.

Thanks, we'll work on it. The build system needs to be polished up a bit anyway so might as well use that as an opportunity.

I was overjoyed to find out that this is a NixOS project but now that I've found this issue it saddens me that I can't just include this project in my flake.

Just adding my support for flake support.
