* Put the garbage collector in nix-store: operation `--gc', suboperations `--print-live', `--print-dead', and `--delete'. The roots are not determined by nix-store; they are read from standard input. This is to make it easy to customise what the roots are. The collector now no longer fails when store expressions are missing (which legally happens when using substitutes). It never tries to fetch paths through substitutes. TODO: acquire a global lock on the store while garbage collecting. * Removed `nix-store --delete'.

* Renamed `normalise.cc' -> `build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' -> `derivations.cc', etc. * Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after they have been built/added. This is so that we can check whether the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify'). * When registering path validity, verify that the closure property holds.

* Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots while holding a write lock on that file. The garbage collector acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary roots.

* Fix and simplify the garbage collector (it's still not concurrent, though). In particular it's now much easier to register a GC root. Just place a symlink to whatever store path it is that you want to keep in /nix/var/nix/gcroots.
