I hope someone creates a rule set for Bazel to automate this stuff. This seems like a really nice way to start rewriting performance critical code in a safe language!

I haven't played with too much Rust but any new projects address a lot of the difficulties with dealing with the legacy libraries. Mainly: they're not written in C.
