Eelco Dolstra 5bc41d78ff Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is
unnecessarily verbose.

Eelco Dolstra 14bc3ce3d6 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00).  1 is a better choice because some
  programs use 0 as a special value.  For instance, the Template
  Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
  so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
  template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs).  Similarly, Maya 2008
  fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
  patched because it's closed source.

  This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
  warnings.
