"Return a derivation that executes Scheme expression EXP as a builder for
derivation NAME. INPUTS must be a list of (NAME DRV-PATH SUB-DRV) tuples;
when SUB-DRV is omitted, \"out\" is assumed. EXP is evaluated in an
environment where %OUTPUT is bound to the main output path, %OUTPUTS is bound
to a list of output/path pairs, and where %BUILD-INPUTS is bound to an alist
