Parallel builds somehow work, for them unfinished multithreaded nix branch was used: DeterminateSystems/nix-src#125
On top of this branch, some fixes were implemented to add wanted functions to C api, but most of the missing functionality was added by binding to nix C++ api using cxx
Old logger implementation (based on stdout parsing) is still here, but every log from nix evaluator and building are now processed by overriding nix logger itself
The bindings themselves might be unsound in some parts, but C++ api sometimes has very unclear semantics on how it is supposed to work, so it is the best I can offer for now.
I am already using this branch for a couple of weeks, so it should work, but testing/review by other people is very welcome.
