Great!  Thank you!  I now faintly remember that I once used this "cargo
vendor" trick for an other package.  And I think that it was _you_ who
suggested it at the time.  Maybe in context with offline-building of rustc.

I'll try it tomorrow.  This way one has at least a chance to take a look
at what was downloaded and is used for the build.  I build rustc offline
but otherwise try to keep away from rust-stuff as much as possible.
