This makes 'nix copy' and 'nix path-info' work on .drv store paths. Removing special treatment of .drv files seems the most future-proof approach given the possible removal of .drv files in the future. Note that 'nix build' will still build (rather than substitute) .drv paths due to the unfortunate overloading in Store::buildPaths().
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
