I would find it useful if rust-builder could be compiled as a static library that could then be invoked from rust, C or C++. This has some possible advantages:
- Allowing a project using a new toolchain to use rust builder
- Allowing non rust projects to use rust shaders

Research direction
Start by locating the rust-builder build configuration and the builder calls that would need to be exported. Determine the static-library and cross-language interface requirements for Rust, C, and C++ callers. Done means rust-builder can be compiled as a static C library and invoked from each stated language.
