[Nix-dev] Update on GNUpdate

Hello Nixers,

For the record, the GNUpdate script [0] can now be told to update only
things depended on by stdenv, or the opposite, or both, which I find
quite handy.

So, when on trunk, one can peacefully run ‘gnupdate --select=non-stdenv’;
on ‘stdenv-updates’, one can run ‘gnupdate --select=stdenv’.  And voilà!
:-)

I’ll keep running it regularly.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
