cargo-local-install

Wraps cargo install for better local, non-conflicting installation

cargo install is great but suffers a few drawbacks:

• The global ~/.cargo/bin directory can contain only a single installed version of a package at a time - if you've got one project relying on cargo web 0.5 and another prjoect relying on cargo web 0.6, you're SOL.
• Forcing local installs with --root my/project to avoid global version conflicts means you must rebuild the entire dependency for each project, even when you use the exact same version for 100 other projects before.
• When building similar binaries, the lack of target directory caching means the entire dependency tree must still be rebuilt from scratch.

cargo local-install attempts to solve these problems:

• (Ab)uses --target-dir to share built dependencies.
• Creates a global cache of binaries, but installs a link/copy in ./bin by default.
