One problem I stumbled onto is that while --no-default-features does
work generically regardless of defined features, --features default
does _NOT_ work generically, as it fails if there is no defined
"default" feature.

Another is some crates simply don't work with --no-default-features,
and they need --features=std or similar in order to work.

Hence, I don't think --no-default-features makes for a great default
mechanism for rust.

Its something you should only reach for when you know better.

This will break generation of the HTML version of PMS:

   $ make html
   set -e; sum=''; \
   while true; do \
 mk4ht xhlatex pms 'xhtml,fn-in,charset=utf-8' ' -cunihtf -utf8'; \
 oldsum=${sum}; sum=$(cksum pms.html); \
 test "${sum}" != "${oldsum}" || break; \
   done
   /bin/sh: line 2: mk4ht: command not found
   make: *** [Makefile:45: pms.html] Error 127
