Eelco Dolstra f2802aa7ba * We now actually do hash rewriting. Builders build temporary store 
paths (e.g., `/nix/store/...random-hash...-aterm'), which are
  subsequently rewritten to actual content-addressable store paths
  (i.e., the hash part of the store path equals the hash of the
  contents).

  A complication is that the temporary output paths have to be passed
  to the builder (e.g., in $out).  Likewise, other environment
  variables and command-line arguments cannot contain fixed store
  paths because their names are no longer known in advance.
  
  Therefore, we now put placeholder store paths in environment
  variables and command-line arguments, which we *rewrite* to the
  actual paths prior to running the builder.

  TODO: maintain the mapping of derivation placeholder outputs
  ("output path equivalence classes") to actual output paths in the
  database.  Right now the first build succeeds and all its
  dependencies fail because they cannot find the output of the first.

  TODO: locking is no longer an issue with random temporary paths, but
  at the cost of having no blocking if we build the same thing twice
  in parallel.  Maybe the "random" path should actually be a hash of
  the placeholder and the name of the user who started the build.
