Eelco Dolstra f7526febe4 * A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage 
doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their
  descriptor hashes.  So we can do

    nix info $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and

    nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to actually delete them.

Overview
========

Nix is a package manager, deployment system, and component glue
mechanism.


Prerequisites
=============

* Berkeley DB 4.0.14
* CWI ATerm 2.0


Installation
============

* When building from the Subversion repository, first do:

    autoreconf -i

* To build, do:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

  Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix.
  You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you
  want to use prebuilt packages from other sources.


Usage
=====
