Preferring c over rust
I just noticed this failure:
=> Verifying reinstall for ../../lang/rust
=> Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20190127

The commit note says:
This package now uses rust. The user-settable variable LIBRSVG_USE_RUST
allows switching between this and the (obsolete) plain-C version
in librsvg-c. It defaults to "yes" on platforms that lang/rust currently
supports.
As projects move to non-portable languages, should we consider keeping the
latest / last version which is still portable? In this case, I think it
just needs to be fixed to prefer c, but in general I wonder what others'
thoughts are about this kind of thing.
