Announcing the new Rust package manager, Cargo

You said that they are trying to eliminate the dependency on make. Please please please tell me that they are considering something designed like tup instead:

Given how long it takes to build rust, I would hope a faster build system is a priority. Running `brew install rust` is bar none the longest build process I've seen in the brew ecosystem.

That's not a problem of the build system, but rather a fully bootstrapping compiler (needs to compile itself 3 times), that's doing certain things in rather non-optimal ways (e.g. passing more code than necessary to the optimiser (LLVM)).

Are you building HEAD? The bottled 0.9 install is quite quick.
