Title: Rewrote package - want to keep mantaining it?

Hi Felix,

I have been working with Rust a lot recently, and, getting frustrated with the emacs mode (which is not great), when I looked for a package for sublime text, I found yours. But the language has changed drastically in the last seven months, and there seemed to be a lot of stuff in the syntax file that you got from the textmate plugin (which is also equally out of date) that didn't seem relevant at all, and additionally I found the property list format to be hard to work with.

So I completely rewrote the syntax, added indenting suppert, etc. I based the syntax off of the current vim highlighting, which is the better maintained of the two that are supported by the core team (the other being the aforementioned emacs mode). I tried to keep it simple and easy to understand, to make it easier to modify as the language continues to change (which it certainly will). Part of that is using the JSON format that the sublime text AAAPackageDev package supports, part of it is sticking all the keywords together when that is more convenient.

I'm opening this pull request mainly to see if you still want to be maintaining this. It's an odd pull request because pretty much every file is totally rewritten, but I don't want to step on your toes by replacing your repository with mine in the package database, and I also don't want there to be two packages called Rust on the package repository.

So, let me know - if you want to keep maintaining this, I'll keep sending you pull requests as I add stuff, or if you don't, I'm happy to update the central repository and take over maintaining it.

Cheers,
Daniel
