Fix path parsing
Add build_lib_with_cfgs, build_bin_with_cfgs to rustpkg API. Closes #9944.
Introduce an io::Buffer trait

This trait is meant to abstract whether a reader is actually implemented with an
underlying buffer. For all readers which are implemented as such, we can
efficiently implement things like read_char, read_line, read_until, etc. There
are two required methods for managing the internal buffer, and otherwise
read_line and friends can all become default methods.

Closes #10334
Add shootout meteor contest benchmark.

This implementation of the meteor contest implements:
 - insertion check with bit trick;
 - pregenetation of every feasible placement of the pieces on the
   board;
 - filtering of placement that implies unfeasible board
 - central symetry breaking
remove useless Iterate impl, and permute the order of the argument of iterate

Writing iterate(x, f) is more logical as rust iterator pipeline is left to right.
Improve variable naming.
remove `cast::unsafe_copy`

This is the same functionality as `ptr::read_ptr`.

This is the same functionality as `ptr::read_ptr`.
auto merge of #10478 : TeXitoi/rust/shootout-meteor, r=brson

This implementation of the meteor contest implements:
 - insertion check with bit trick;
 - pregenetation of every feasible placement of the pieces on the
   board;
 - filtering of placement that implies unfeasible board
 - central symetry breaking

related to #2776
Fix the `num_lit` grammar in the reference manual.

- Cause `0` to be considered a valid integer literal (it is).
- Add octal literals (missed from #10243).

I have *not* modified doc/po/rust.md.pot or doc/po/ja/rust.md.po at all;
they already seem to be out of date so it's easier to ignore them for
myself. I can update them if desired, of course.
Show the name of the trait in the error message
Adjust error message for method type mismatch

Closes #10118, Closes #5925
Implement read_char on the Buffer trait
lint: _-prefixed variables don't get an unused-mut warning.

Bringing it into line with the unused-variable one,

    fn main() {
        let mut _a = 1;
    }

will not warn that `_a` is never used mutably.

Fixes #6911.

Fix #10283.
fix 10468, propagate optimization level as rustc::driver::session::OptLevel
extra: handle an edge case in BigUint.to_str().

If any of the digits was one past the maximum (e.g. 10**9 for base 10),
then this wasn't detected correctly and so the length of the digit was
one more than expected, causing a very large allocation.

Fixes #10522.
Fixes #10288.
auto merge of #10454 : z0w0/rust/issue-9944, r=cmr

Allows you to provide explicit `--cfg` flags when building certain packages through the rustpkg API.
auto merge of #10466 : alexcrichton/rust/issue-10334, r=cmr

These commits create a `Buffer` trait in the `io` module which represents an I/O reader which is internally buffered. This abstraction is used to reasonably implement `read_line` and `read_until` along with at least an ok implementation of `read_char` (although I certainly haven't benchmarked `read_char`).
resurect shootout-mandelbrot.rs

Changes:
* add licence;
* remove usage of libc and unsafe;
* use BufferedWriter to improve performance;
* use a DummyWriter to cancel binary output in test.
