Although rust-winapi currently exists in Debian, I think that
generally it should not be used. It increases the file space used to
provide support for Windows-specific APIs which isn't beneficial for
.deb's. Therefore, I'm attaching a patch (in my followup email) to
remove this dependency.

Eventually, I expect Debian's tooling (in rust-debcargo perhaps) will
automatically disable dependencies and features that Cargo.toml
clearly marks as only being used for Windows (or other unrelated
OSes). Until that happens, a patch is needed.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
