ok so you should see a section i added an hour ago to the page,
linking to the ieee754fpu readme, would it be best to update that
readme with the build instructions, or put thrm in HDLWF itself?

building rust, and those libraries, it's quite a lot, isn't it.  hmmm
could it be scripted? am just thinking out loud.  if it's scripted
then that's ok to mention in HDLWF, "run this script and it will get
nightly rustlang, simple-soft-float and the python bindings for you"

what do you think?
