Eelco Dolstra 30a6122f80 * When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash. 
This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
  doing

    nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)

  which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
  referenced by them.  We could then garbage collect unused packages
  by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
  returned by `nix closure ...'.

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
=====
