works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is
set to "ignore".

* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
...
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type
$ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds

Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
(This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
to fail.)

* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collector
...
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first
(e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.

* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage

collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
paths.

* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
...
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.:
/nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system

* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
...
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in
the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths
almost immediately.

* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
...
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it
...
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests
directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull,
resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan
Pedro Bolívar Puente.

* When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linking
...
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise',

configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file size support
...
Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e.
Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the
functionality in case of problems.
