Eelco Dolstra 7959354379 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that
it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed.

  *** IMPORTANT ***

  If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the
  Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone.  Do
  the following:

  - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db.

  - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
  
    $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1

  - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1:

    $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db

  - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*

Eelco Dolstra 4a373a3e9a * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
  query commands.  For instance,

  $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix

  $ nix-env --query --available   [aka -qa]
  sylpheed-0.9.7
  bison-1.875
  pango-1.2.5
  subversion-0.35.1
  ...

  $ nix-env -i sylpheed

  $ nix-env -u subversion

  There can be only one default at a time.

* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
  prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
