Switch to Cargo?

[wackywendell]

Now that an alpha version of Cargo has been released as "ready to try out", do you think we could try and switch the build from a makefile to Cargo? Is that feasible?

At a minimum, it would be nice to have a "cargo.toml" so that packages depending on this one could use cargo.

I have just added a cargo file. Cargo does not suport packages that generate multiple libs, so, at the moment some dependencies (including ncollide and rust-ffmpeg) are still built by the makefile (which is executed by cargo).

Also, cargo does not compile with the optimizations activated.

Wow, you're good! Thanks!
