Sorry, I have no time to review your implementation (too busy with my day job). I'll share my thoughts about multiple-outputs. Feel free to ignore this.
1. The notion of fixed-output derivation should be replaced by the notion of fixed-output _output_. Use case: 'data' part of a package (say, game). 2. About cyclic dependencies. An output should have a way to tell nix to ignore some dependencies. Say, $out/nix-support/ignored-dependencies. Use case: splitting debug information from the main package (main package explicitly tells nix that it does not depend on the debug package). I'll try to think about it and tell you about other ideas... -- Yury G.
