The install command should work now, though it only installs
in-place (anything else has to wait until I implement RUST_PATH).
Also including:
core: Add remove_directory_recursive, change copy_file
Make copy_file preserve permissions, and add a remove_directory_recursive
function.

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
Even more of `core::run` could be rust-ified -- I believe that access to the C extern environ can be done with rust now. I did not do this because some special casing is needed for OSX and I don't have a mac I can test with.
I think this will also fix#6096.
- it is now cross platform, instead of just unix
- it now avoids sleeping (fixing issue #6156)
- it now calls force_destroy() when force = true (was a bug)
This adds #[inline] to many very common string routines (e.g. `len`).
It also rewrites `repeat` to not use `+=` and make it O(n) rather than O(n^2), and also concat/connect(_slices) to reduce the overhead of reallocations, and constantly `set_len`ing (etc) in `push_str`. (The added complexity might not be worth the 20% speedup though.)
I have noticed these comments scattered across the codebase. They appear to be vestigial Emacs formatting settings and they don't appear in newer files. For the sake of consistency it's probably best to remove them.
this could probably use expansion - it just uses all of the default
options, which is usually what we want, but not always. maybe add a
separate function that takes more options?
only tested on linux/x86_64, but i got the values for other platforms
from their system header files.
no bindings for win32, because win32 doesn't include glob.h.
also, glob() takes a callback for error handling, but i'm just making
this a *c_void for now, since i don't know how to represent c calling
back into rust (if that's even currently possible).
The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
