Hi Kevin,

Most of my presentation, which as you know has been pushed back to
April 1, involves only source files the person writes, and the rustc
compiler. Toward the end I'll get into cargo command with the config
file etc. Anybody can follow along at home if they install the Rust
package from their package manager: No special crates are needed.
