2013-12-20	Revert "Scan /proc/<pid>/cmdline for GC roots"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 194e3374b89b8b2dec6296923877304bdb5c6ae2. Checking the command line for GC roots means that $ nix-store --delete $path will fail because $path is now a root because it's mentioned on the command line.

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Don't hardcode /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Search process environments for roots	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use by a "nix-build --run-env" session.
2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Use Nix::Utils::readFile	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-10	* Set the executable bit on scripts.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-03-20	* Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel	Eelco Dolstra
	modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
2006-09-20	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	Eelco Dolstra

2006-07-21	* Don't try to do DNS lookups.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-07-19	* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,	Eelco Dolstra
	such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program).
