Eelco Dolstra d58a11e019 * Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits
  and letters except e, o, u, and t).  This produces store paths like
  /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1.  The nice
  thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32
  characters, as before with MD5.

  (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than
  SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to
  attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
