* Creating a file nix-support/no-scan in the output path of a
  derivation disables scanning for dependencies.  Use at your own
  risk.  This is a quick hack to speed up UML image generation (image
  are very big, say 1 GB).

  It would be better if the scanner were faster, and didn't read the
  whole file into memory.
