* When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,
...
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic
(and useless) aterm on the screen. Example:
error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix':
while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533:
while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1:
assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13
Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be
misleading. The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of
the problem.

...
$ nix-instantiate --help
error: unknown flag `--help`
Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information.

that it can be used by multiple programs.

* Descriptors now have a "system" field specifying the platform that
...
the build or run action should be perfomed on. This ensures that
descriptors have different hashes on different platforms.

* nix-instantiate now instantiantes the closure of the set of
...
descriptor templates under the import relation. I.e., we can now
say:
nix-instantiate outdir foo.nix
which will create descriptors for foo.nix and all imported packages
in outdir/.
