Hi,

The beta version of rustc was out April 3, 2015
(http://www.rust-lang.org/install.html).

I updated the port of rustc in openbsd-wip, in order to follow the beta
version (waiting for the stable one, in 6 weeks).

Now, I would like to have some feedback about this port, in order to
import it under ports.

Known drawbacks:
- building the port imply to build an embeded version of LLVM first (it
  is only a BUILD_DEP)

- rustc and rustdoc need to known at runtime the location of the
  executable, in order to infer the sysroot (directory where are located
  the rust standard libraries). 
  
  For rustc, I provide a wrapper to pass the location of it. 
  
  But for rustdoc, no arguments are available for that. In order to use
  it, it is currently necessary to invoke it with full path
  (/usr/local/bin/rustdoc args...)

- the executable in snapshot archive (used for bootstrapping purpose) is
  dynamic. So it embeded system libraries too.

Thanks.
