* When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash.
  This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
  doing

    nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)

  which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
  referenced by them.  We could then garbage collect unused packages
  by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
  returned by `nix closure ...'.
