Eelco Dolstra 2e210b2387 * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then
  runs the garbage collector.  Quick way to get rid of all old stuff.
  Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after
  this.
