 > Small questions.  We shouldn't take any of these as blocking.
 >   * Have you tested this with out-of-tree builds?
 >   * Have you tried "make distcheck DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS='--enable-
 rust'" to make sure that make distcheck still works when building rust?

 Yes, that still works.

 >   * Do the various "make clean" targets work right?

 All targets tested as a part of distcheck work, are there others?

 >   * What invokes clippy for us?

 Nothing yet, it's not a part of this branch

 >   * where do we check rustc/cargo version?

 there's a check during configure. We only test the rust version because
 cargo versions "belong" to certain rust versions.

 >   * How will cross-compilation work?

 Not at all yet.

 > Small suggestions:
 >  * The "please report bugs" message .. should say "how" and "where" to
 report, and remind people not to report ancient bugs. Otherwise we'll get
 swamped with junk.

 Ok.

 >  * test_rust.sh -- should it use ls to find the list of crates, rather
 than having them hardwired?

 we could do that i guess, will add it.

 >  * Let's label the autoconf option as "experimental" in the help
 message.

 Ok
