* Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
...
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so
that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
doesn't have a big impact on performance.)
Memory consumption for

MiB on the trunk).

improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.

* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
...
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves
the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.

* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
...
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on
OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then
the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct
stat", or vice versa.
This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.
* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
of the loop before.

tests/build-hook.hook.sh: prefer more portable ... syntax over $(...) for running sub-shells
...
The /bin/sh interpreter on Solaris doesn't understand $(...) syntax for running
sub-shells. Consequently, this test fails on Solaris. To remedy the situation,
the script either needs to be run by /bin/bash -- which is non-standard --, or
it needs to use the ancient but portable `...` syntax.
