* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,
  such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc.  This is
  inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other
  platforms.  Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in
  /proc/NNN.

  The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store
  paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that
  are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e"
  on a running program).
