* Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...)
...
when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with
some dummy value.

* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
...
builder using the `args' binding:
("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])
Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
in the argument list.

* Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the
...
builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
hashes to change.

store, and print its hash.

* deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it

when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it.
So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.

* Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name

NAME'. E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name
svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server
uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).

* Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the
...
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock
again without blocking or failing). (This might be dangerous, not
sure). Necessary for fast builds to work.

* A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of
...
a regular file. I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the
coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).

* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the
...
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for
recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
the garbage collector.

...
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not
every time they are used. This is necessary because tables have to
outlive all transactions that refer to them.
