Thanks for working on this. I will give it a try the next days. But I
want to share two points going around in my head:

1) I propose moving the nginx service into a package
gnu/service/nginx.scm. Imagine we will implement an equal complex config
schema for apache. Then we will get a beast of code with lots of useless
"nginx-" prefixes.

2) Is it possible to add some magic to e.g. "nginx-service-type" so that
all identifiers within are searched in the "nginx" scope. Example:

      (service-extension
        nginx-service-type
         (const (list (server    ;; taken from "nginx" scope
                        (blocks (list))
                        (configs (list
                                  (option (type 'server_name)     ;; taken from "nginx" scope
                                          (value (list 'default)))
