* nix-pull: using nix-prefetch-url (so that we get caching for free),
...
and store the manifests in the Nix store. (So now
/nix/var/nix/manifests/ just contains symlinks to the store and is
searched for GC roots.)

* nix-prefetch-url: support caching. If the environment variable
...
NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is set, then nix-prefetch-url will store the hash
and timestamp of downloaded files in the directory
$NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE. This allows it to figure out if the file is
still in the Nix store.

* Check against creation of GC roots in the store. Those roots don't

work, because findRoots() stops when it encounters a symlink to the
store. And of course the store is supposed to be read-only.

* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
...
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The
top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
{nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes
attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".

* New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on
...
another machine through ssh. E.g.,
$ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn)
copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'. This is like
`nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more
efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the
target machine.

* Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
...
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65). This
timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
`build-max-silent-time' configuration setting. The default is
infinity (0).
* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait(). So also send a
conventional kill to the child.
