Description

There is already another general issue titled Consider packaging rustup & this request is specific to chocolatey. It would be great to be able to do:

choco install rustup

It is currently possible to install the rust gnu package with the rust package, but that is not what I want. I want to manage rust with rustup.

I should be able to create the package pretty easily. I just need the URL to download a specific version of rust-init.exe so that the script can validate the checksum.

Research direction

Review the linked general rustup packaging issue and the existing Chocolatey rust package first. Identify a version-specific download URL and checksum for rust-init.exe; done means a Chocolatey package can install rustup through choco install rustup and manage Rust with rustup.
