167e36a5c3 nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist
This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist
in the binary cache.

d059bf48e4 Pass configuration settings to the substituters
Previously substituters could read nix.conf themselves, but this
didn't take --option flags into account.

ccc52adfb2 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5").  (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.)  However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory.  queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

4911a10a4e Use XZ compression in binary caches
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2.  Here are the
compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on
my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB):

  bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08]
  xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53]
  xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19]
  xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18]
  xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40]

Note that compression takes much longer.  More importantly, however,
decompression is much faster:

  bzip2: 1m47.274s
  xz -6: 0m55.446s
  xz -7: 0m54.119s
  xz -8: 0m52.388s
  xz -9: 0m51.842s

The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair
amount (~65 MB) of memory.

4f7bab7db1 Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on
platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.

7f38087f35 Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation
This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given
derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from
the derivation.  This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise
the environment further.

The current directory is not changed.  Thus this is a convenient way
to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree.

Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the
derivation overrides them).  As a special hack, the original value of
$PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup.

Example session:

$ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm
(the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...)
$ tar xf $src
$ ./configure
$ make
$ emacs
(... hack source ...)
$ make
$ ./xterm

We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout
afterwards is kind of useless.

5bbd693cae * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘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.)

993fa94fb4 * Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to
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.

f8e609c341 * nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't
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).

d7d7910ba4 * Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to
  fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.

73fe6871c4 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the
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.
