Package: hippotat
I hope to update rust-nix to 0.30 soon, nix 0.30 changes
the read and dup2 apis as part of the crate's gradual move
towards "io safety".
IIRC hippotat values compatibility with a wide range of
nix versions, and furthermore the code didn't seem
paritcularly orientated towards io safety, so I fixed
the build failures by switching to using the libc
versions of read and dup2 directly.
