Crate cargo_dist

cargo-dist

This is the library at the core of the ‘cargo dist’ CLI. It currently mostly exists for the sake of internal documentation/testing, and isn’t intended to be used by anyone else. That said, if you have a reason to use it, let us know!

It’s currently not terribly well-suited to being used as a pure library because it happily writes to stderr/stdout whenever it pleases. Suboptimal for a library.
