The cargo team is considering an official build script API (rust-lang/cargo#12432). We are looking at adopting build-rs package, mostly because the author reached out to us.

We'd be interested in input on this

• Any concern over an official API and any particular package / package name being adopted
• Feedback on API design choices (e.g. I see build_script allows deferred printing, custom sinks, custom instructions, etc but its no clear why)
• Thoughts on the role of cargo's crate and this crate moving forward (e.g. would you be interested in joining efforts and helping out with cargos?)

Not needing this myself (don't to need build scripts) but looking to create a related crate (lookup env variables cargo sets) and in looking for crate names I noticed build_env and it seemed like its functionality would be a perfect fit for build_script so I thought I'd mention it.
