2017-09-10	Add command "nix why-depends"	Eelco Dolstra
	This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure: $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1: lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev: nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.
