b87b9c0d1f * New query option: --compare-versions' or -c' to compare installed
versions to available versions, or vice versa.

  For example, the following compares installed versions to available
  versions:

    $ nix-env -qc
    autoconf-2.59            = 2.59
    automake-1.9.4           < 1.9.6
    f-spot-0.0.10            - ?
    firefox-1.0.4            < 1.0.7
    ...

  I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix
  expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and
  F-Spot is missing altogether.

  Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed
  versions:

    $ nix-env -qac
    autoconf-2.59                  = 2.59
    automake-1.9.6                 > 1.9.4
    bash-3.0                       - ?
    firefox-1.0.7                  > 1.0.4
    ...

  Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed.

  If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest
  is used.  E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion
  1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `<
  1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'.

  If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in
  red (using ANSI escape codes).

Eelco Dolstra
95304172a5 * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file
  descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file
  descriptor.  So we just use the normal open() function instead.
  
  This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).

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.
