One-line installation of [Rust] applications.

Need to show your friends that Rust application you made, but your
friends don't Rust? That's when you need to rustle.

If your [Cargo] crate produces static binaries then this script can
install it in one line. It downloads the Rust nightly, builds your
application, then packages and installs it.

Install a crate:

curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brson/rustle/master/rustle.sh | sh -s -- https://github.com/ogham/exa
    exa

Then to uninstall:

sudo /usr/local/lib/rustle/uninstall.sh --components=exa

or more compactly:

sudo /usr/local/lib/rustle/uninstall.sh

which will uninstall everything installed by rustle.

If the project doesn't build on the current nightly, then it's
possible to specify other revisions with the `--toolchain` flag,
which accepts the same values as [multirust].

curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brson/rustle/master/rustle.sh | sh -s -- https://github.com/gchp/iota --toolchain nightly-2015-02-19
    iota

# Projects that are likely compatible

* https://github.com/gchp/iota. A text editor.
* https://github.com/ogham/exa. An alternative to ls.
* https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv. A fast CSV toolkit.

# With the power of multirust

rustle uses [multirust] to acquire Rust. If it detects that multirust
is already installed then it will use the available copy, which can
greatly reduce installation times by reusing multirust's toolchain
cache. If multirust is not already installed then rustle will download
and install it to a temporary location.

# Future work

* Install libraries as well
* Deal with native dependencies
* Windows compatibility
* Install from crates.io
* Reduce spew
