rmin-eh 0.0.1

A minimal Rust lib for writting R extensions. Here is some fragments from std crate that provide a `eh_personality` lang-item. If you have another better `eh_personality` lang-item, just use a [patch] section to override this crate should cause no error. The only contribution of mine is change crate:: prefix to core::.
