-/* dumpPath creates a Nix archive of the specified path.  The format
-   is as follows:
-
-   IF path points to a REGULAR FILE:
-     dump(path) = attrs(
-       [ ("type", "regular")
-       , ("contents", contents(path))
-       ])
-
-   IF path points to a DIRECTORY:
-     dump(path) = attrs(
-       [ ("type", "directory")
-       , ("entries", concat(map(f, sort(entries(path)))))
-       ])
-       where f(fn) = attrs(
-         [ ("name", fn)
-         , ("file", dump(path + "/" + fn))
-         ])
-
-   where:
-
-     attrs(as) = concat(map(attr, as)) + encN(0) 
-     attrs((a, b)) = encS(a) + encS(b)
-
-     encS(s) = encN(len(s)) + s + (padding until next 64-bit boundary)
-
-     encN(n) = 64-bit little-endian encoding of n.
-
-     contents(path) = the contents of a regular file.
-
-     sort(strings) = lexicographic sort by 8-bit value (strcmp).
-
-     entries(path) = the entries of a directory, without `.' and
-     `..'.
-
-     `+' denotes string concatenation. */
