b006a31d52 Drop the externals directory
Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed.  SQLite is
detected using pkg-config.  We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so
depending on SQLite is not a big problem.

The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.

bd50c01972 Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory
By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when
download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit.  This prevents
them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.

d645633643 nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout
We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout
afterwards is kind of useless.

56042a120a build-remote.pl: don't wait forever for the upload lock
In the build hook, don't wait forever to get the upload lock.  This
ensures progress if another process gets stuck while holding the
upload lock.

8afd28a922 Remove dependency on sqlite3_table_column_metadata
Not all SQLite builds have the function sqlite3_table_column_metadata.
We were only using it in a schema upgrade check for compatibility with
databases that were probably never seen in the wild.  So remove it.

1c94524458 Fix an uninitialised variable
The variable ‘useChroot’ was not initialised properly.  This caused
random failures if using the build hook.  Seen on Mac OS X 10.7 with Clang.
Thanks to KolibriFX for finding this :-)

6fe13e6aba Fix chroots builds
Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to
the chroot.  This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set,
because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files.  So
temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the
chroot.

Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very
reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we
run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’.  So
maybe we should only make directories immutable.

bd013b6f98 On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by
creating *.pyc files when run as root.  On Linux, we can prevent this
by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr
+i’).  This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error
if setting the bit fails.  The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage
collector before deleting a path.  The only tricky aspect is in
optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an
immutable file.  Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable
bit before creating the link.

  expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but
  this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing
  error messages.

02f1363e19 * Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a
  rather unhelpful error message:

    Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm

  This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes
  various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter
  expects.

4e624849b6 * Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced
  by the shell, e.g.

  $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))"
  $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp
  $ source $stdenv/setup

  This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build
  a package outside of its builder for development purposes.

  TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the
  dependencies of the derivation as well.
