e1a6fb7870 * `dependencyClosure' now allows a search path, e.g.,
dependencyClosure { ... searchPath = [ ../foo ../bar ]; ... }

* Primop `dirOf' to return the directory part of a path (e.g., dirOf
  /a/b/c == /a/b).

* Primop `relativise' (according to Webster that's a real word!) that
  given paths A and B returns a string representing path B relative
  path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".

08c53923db * A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependency
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C
  file) in Nix low-level builds automatically.

  For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we
  find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows:

    localIncludes =
      dependencyClosure {
        scanner = file:
          import (findIncludes {
            inherit file;
          });
        startSet = [main];
      };

  The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting
  with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each
  file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings
  representing relative paths).  For instance, when `scanner' is
  called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line

    #include "../bar/fnord.h"

  then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"].  This list of
  dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added
  to the set of dependencies.  The process continues until no more
  dependencies are found (hence its a closure).

  `dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a
  dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start
  file, e.g.,

    [ /bla/bla/foo.c
      "foo.c"
      /bla/bar/fnord.h
      "../bar/fnord.h"
    ]

  These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles
  foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by
  foo.c.

  The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using
  the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more
  efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by
  building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have
  actually changed.  The old approach rescanned every time.

0f827cc607 * Prevent repeated wrapping of closed terms
(closed(closed(closed(...)))) since this reduces performance by
  producing bigger terms and killing caching (which incidentally also
  prevents useful infinite recursion detection).

a5ceb5bc0b * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and
  it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.

22d3587f3b * In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments
with default values automatically.  I.e., e -> e {}.

  This feature makes convenience expressions such as
  pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do

  $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix

  since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a
  default value (__thisSystem).

928a7c06dc * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't
handle it.  It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive.  Probably we
  will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit
  machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring
  max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't
  there).

040140dd1c * Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
  attributes named `x' and `y' removed.  It is not an error for the
  named attributes to be missing from the input set.
