* Removed the `id' attribute hack.

* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
  for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
  Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
  dependency graph.  Previously this was done by specifying the hash
  component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
  insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
  and then produce a completely different output).  Now the
  responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
  Nix itself.

  A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
  `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
  values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
  actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
  at the length of the attribute value).  MD5 is included for
  compatibility but should be considered deprecated.

* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results.  It's
  no longer necessary.

* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
  expressions.  Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
  `devel', `docs').  Previously there was no way to tell output paths
  apart at the store expression level.

* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
  be printed in base-32 notation.

* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
  `md5'.

* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32.  (TODO: a
  flag to specify the hash.)

+/* Returns the hash of a derivation modulo fixed-output
+   subderivations.  A fixed-output derivation is a derivation with one
+   output (`out') for which an expected hash and hash algorithm are
+   specified (using the `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo'
+   attributes).  We don't want changes to such derivations to
+   propagate upwards through the dependency graph, changing output
+   paths everywhere.
+
+   For instance, if we change the url in a call to the `fetchurl'
+   function, we do not want to rebuild everything depending on it
+   (after all, (the hash of) the file being downloaded is unchanged).
+   So the *output paths* should not change.  On the other hand, the
+   *derivation store expression paths* should change to reflect the
+   new dependency graph.
+
+   That's what this function does: it returns a hash which is just the
+   of the derivation ATerm, except that any input store expression
+   paths have been replaced by the result of a recursive call to this
+   function, and that for fixed-output derivations we return
+   (basically) its outputHash. */
