* 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.
