Why are pushd/popd necessary?

let
version = (builtins.parseDrvName name).version;
in writeScript "update-${name}" ''
PATH=${coreutils}/bin:${gnused}/bin:${gnugrep}/bin:${xidel}/bin:${curl}/bin:${ed}/bin

This really should be abstracted over (stdenv-style). E.g.

  mkUpdateScript "update-${name}"
    [ xidel curl ]
    ''
      script...
    ''

where mkUpdateScript takes care of setting PATH and adding default dependencies like coreutils.
