Rather than calling nix-env, it would be cleaner to factor out opDeleteGenerations() from nix-env.cc into a library function and call it directly. IMHO that's one of the main benefits of rewriting in C++ (being able to call APIs directly rather than going through command line invocations).

I'm not yet confident with doing this, can we accept this in the while as a 1:1 translation?
