Description
Both Maven and Gradle have an ability to make a local distribution package, for example, some .zip archive which will contain some data you want. You may not want to publish your rust project on crates.io but, for example, you want to have your own project's web-site which has "downloads" section instead. With maven and gradle this would be possible.
So, I suggest cargo to have options to:
- Build a distribution package (zip, tar, gz, other formats)
- Count hashsumm (md5, sha256) automatically for the file from step 1.
What do you guys think here?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the requested Cargo distribution and checksum capabilities, using the Maven and Gradle examples for context; done would require a decided, scoped proposal covering supported archive formats and hash behavior.
