* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing

all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new
primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For

say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world

writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this

outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the

* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual
...
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
"nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to
addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
Some simple memoization fixes this.

* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all
...
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
"i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
platforms.
Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular,
due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.
