 Replying to [comment:9 nickm]:
 > I've merged this to master, and added some previously missing items to
 build.rs.
 >
 > Before we close this, I think we should have a note about how to
 actually invoke these tests, if you do want to enable them.  I tried
 adding --features=test-c-from-rust to test_rust.sh, but it makes most of
 our crates' tests fail.

 Adding a note that fixing
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25386#comment:74 will
 allow us to remove this feature gate, and something that we should
 prioritize.

 In the next couple weeks I will organize a discussion at a patch party and
 work with some Rust people to make sure we can resolve this in a way that
 allows us to run the full test suite (if someone else wants to take this
 on organizing this sooner, please do and I will attend said discussion).
