I'll take a look at it in a minute. I figured with the versioned
requirements we would always want to be specific in version numbers for
crate dependents so I figured it made sense. Also, if we did want to
provide an unversioned '-latest' version we could declare an extra
variable '(define-public rust-libc rust-libc-0.2)' and now rust-libc
points to rust-libc-0.2.
