Damn it. The `ls-R' case is similar to Info's `dir' files (which list
all currently available `.info' manuals). In both cases, a great thing
would be to have some sort of a hook invoked when `user-environment' is
built so that these files can be updated, say, a
`nix-support/user-environment-hook' script. The downside is that it'd
slow down the `user-environment' derivation.
Would that be a reasonable option?
Thanks,
