* Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS
...
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix
daemon).

* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
...
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
(such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that
it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
(NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
each other.
The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas"
takes a bit longer.
Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).
* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

* New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store
...
path can be created by copying it from another location in the file
system. This is useful in the NixOS installation.

unlikely there).
