    * the build output and the sources for cross checking.
    * The build output can be used later to allow checkpoint builds
    * by passing the derivation output to the `mkCheckpointBuild` function.
    *
    * To build a project with checkpoints, follow these steps:
    * - run `prepareCheckpointBuild` on the desired derivation, e.g.
    *     checkpointArtifacts = prepareCheckpointBuild virtualbox;
    * - change something you want in the sources of the package,
    *   e.g. using source override:
    *     changedVBox = pkgs.virtuabox.overrideAttrs (old: {
    *       src = path/to/vbox/sources;
    *     };
    * - use `mkCheckpointBuild changedVBox checkpointArtifacts`
    * - enjoy shorter build times
