supports builds of packages using Cargo, the build tool of the
@uref{https://www.rust-lang.org, Rust programming language}.
In its @code{configure} phase, this build system replaces dependencies
specified in the @file{Cargo.toml} file with inputs to the Guix package.
The @code{install} phase installs the binaries, and it also installs the
source code and @file{Cargo.toml} file.
It adds @code{rustc} and @code{cargo} to the set of inputs.
A different Rust package can be specified with the @code{#:rust} parameter.
Regular cargo dependencies should be added to the package definition via the
@code{#:cargo-inputs} parameter as a list of name and spec pairs, where the
spec can be a package or a source definition. Note that the spec must
evaluate to a path to a gzipped tarball which includes a @code{Cargo.toml}
file at its root, or it will be ignored. Similarly, cargo dev-dependencies
should be added to the package definition via the
@code{#:cargo-development-inputs} parameter.
In its @code{configure} phase, this build system will make any source inputs
specified in the @code{#:cargo-inputs} and @code{#:cargo-development-inputs}
parameters available to cargo. The @code{install} phase installs any crate
the binaries if they are defined by the crate.
