Some binding -sys crates are known to build private copy of a library by default, or if it's not found. cargo-ebuild could maintain a list of know offenders and warn about extra dependencies, or even fill out ebuild. also such ebuilds often need virtual/pkgconfig dep.

If system-deps is used for the -sys crates we could have more control through standardized env vars.

This would be really helpful for helping folks not familiar with packaging Rust in Gentoo, as I often have to share my list of workarounds from the various ebuilds right now.
