Hi,

I've merged the sqlite branch into the Nix trunk.  This replaces the flat file
storage of Nix store path metadata in /nix/var/nix/db with a SQLite database.
For a summary of the advantages, see

  http://www.mail-archive.com/nix-dev@cs.uu.nl/msg03868.html

If you upgrade Nix or NixOS, the old database is updated automatically the first
time you run a Nix command (e.g. "nix-store --verify").  Please report any
problems here.
