Ouch.

Well, I did “some” work, but I only got to update it to the new 1.4.3.
Refering to things by commit ought to be fine since we have SWH as an
additional buffer.  As for newer versions, that requires an ugly hack
to get Rust and Python into a single build system and the last time
I tried to do something non-standard with Cargo has left deep emotional
scars.
