[Nix-dev] Checksum of an attrset?

Hi,

I need to generate some scripts that emits custom initctl events. Now, I  
can name the events "someprefix-${attrset.x}", but I would much rather  
name them something truly unique (for a given attrset). Is there some  
function in nix/nixpkgs that can create a checksum from an attrset? Then I  
could use the name "someprefix-${checksum attrset}".

Or do you have any other suggestions for achieving something similar?
