Yeah, I think it is time to provide it from upstream, assuming it
simplifies things for distributions etc., especially in the future
when we start e.g. emitting more `.rmeta`s.

It may also give us more flexibility in the future if we need to
change things in the build system.

Do you think it is better to error out if you try to call it for a
configuration that disables Rust, or to let it be a no-op? The latter
may be nicer, but it does mean mistakes may be silent.

Thanks!
