[Nix-dev] How to traverse "/nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs" in nix ?

[Volth]

As a quick hack, I solved it by make a derivation which do the
travercs in its bash code (in buindCommand) producing a text file as
an output.

inspecting "myPackage.propagatedBuildInputs" looks a cleaner solution, thank you
