Eelco Dolstra 818047881e * 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'.
