Research direction

Start by locating the Gradle entry point that writes compiled Rust files to buildDir/rustJniLibs/${toolchain.folder}, then trace how the Cargo output directory is handled. Define the optional destination path behavior and verify that the files are placed there without requiring a separate Gradle task.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Unless I have missed something the place where the compiled rust files are stored is always buildDir/rustJniLibs/${toolchain.folder}.

It would be nice to be able to set an optional path where the files are moved to from the cargo output directory instead of writing a seperate gradle task to do this.
