I usually (i.e. in other languages I work with) develop dependencies
"in-line" as they were cloned by the package manager, at least if they
need deep integration with the surrounding project and can not be
easily tested/developed in isolation. It's not such a horrible
situation as long as the package manager is smart enough to avoid
wiping your stuff on its own.

That said, a pretty good option I think is to have a command like npm
link [1] that would allow you to tell rustpkg to set up a symlink to
another dir on the disk, yet without interfering/polluting the
project's source itself.
