 I think we need to create infrastructure for that anyway -- there's lots 
 of C++ programs with similarly sloppy dependency management now, 
 especially anything using dear imgui and shipping twenty copies of stb 
 -- in that ecosystem it is completely normal to ship a library as source 
 code that needs to be compiled with a configuration header on the 
 include path, and Rust code is refreshingly sensible compared to that.
