Improve the description of how runtime dependencies are found
trafficstars
I find the issue of how Nix decides on dependencies to be quite mysterious. I wasn't sure what exactly was meant with the current description in chapter 9. So I did some searching, and some experimentation, and got to the algorithm that I wrote in this PR.
What do you think?
I would really like it if someone verifies that I'm right. I couldn't find any authoritative reference on the exact algorithm, and a lot of references to this pill, so what will be written here will probably be used as a reference by others.
