fd9c77dfc7 * Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
  performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
  commit.  Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
  -A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:

    42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
     3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
    32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
    16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 1000 pages
     8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 8192 pages
     1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync

  The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs.  Because WAL doesn't
  work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
  truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
  option to false.

7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
  "preferLocalBuild" to true.  This has a few use cases:

  - The user environment builder.  Since it just creates a bunch of
    symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
    remotely.  In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
    of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
    is extremely wasteful.

  - `fetchurl'.  Performing the download on a remote machine and then
    copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
    traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
    CPU cycles on the local machine.

3e5e0faf9c * Okay, putting a lock on the temporary directory used by importPath()
doesn't work because the garbage collector doesn't actually look at
  locks.  So r22253 was stupid.  Use addTempRoot() instead.  Also,
  locking the temporary directory in exportPath() was silly because it
  isn't even in the store.

ebade9ff8b * Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make
check' now succeeds :-)
* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
  foo.port = 23; }' now parses.  It was previously rejected, but I'm
  too lazy to implement the check.  (The only reason to reject it is
  that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
  rejected, which is kind of ugly.)
