Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
But there is no reason to use a script, when you have a build.rs anyways. Since pretty much everything the script can do build.rs can do better.
That's not going to be particularly feasible when generating bindings and other complex build processes. For example, the Qt bindings run shell commands as part of the build.rs. As does gettext-rs.
So I don't think it's unreasonable to think a developer could sneak in an exploit with "temporary code" to improve some part of the build process on Windows.
