Rustaceans at the border

Rustaceans at the border

There is a lot of plumbing that cargo does:

• setting env variables
• running build scripts
• setting features
• setting something like a symbol prefix to avoid clashes
• linker flags
• ... and a lot of other details

It's surprisingly hard to replicate. I know because I helped doing it for nix with contributions to buildRustCrate in nixpkgs and creating crate2nix.
