2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra
	‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23	* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-22	* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to	Eelco Dolstra
	libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-16	* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't	Eelco Dolstra
	read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16	* Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves	Eelco Dolstra
	disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16	* Remove obsolete line.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-16	* Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cache	Eelco Dolstra
	DB. This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my system.
2011-10-11	* Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-11	* Move SSH.pm.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-11	* Distribute GeneratePatches.pm.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra
	the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10	* Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the	Eelco Dolstra
	bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
