Also even if you do plan to re-implement the C library in Rust it's still a good idea to do this step (make a safe wrapper around the FFI bindings) first. It lets you set up your Rust test cases, and gives you a step to design what the Rust API will look like. You can proceed to pull bits of the C out and into native Rust, all while whatever you've built on top doesn't have to change.
