Ugh the rust build system is fucking fantastic /s

After a long time of building crashing with "do you have cmake installed?" instead of running that check at the start....

I don't recall having seen this with Rust, though I saw stuff like that recently trying to build some Python code that depends on C or C++. Is it something like that?

@faassen this is for compiling rustc itself, not building things with rust

@martijnbraam
Ahh okay, no experience with that but I heard that's more complicated.
