Thanks for this. Alacritty was on my list. Glad I don't have to do it now.

Here is an updated tarball, with some necessary and convenience tweaks:
* Reel in excess whitespace
* Make the list of cargo crates easier to read at a glance (wow that's a
long list!)
* Rearrange variables
* Sync WANTLIB

Things that are still needed:
* A comment to say why the do-install is needed. Is it that upstream
doesn't provide one?
* Missing a MAINTAINER line. Would you like to be maintainer?
* A better pkg/DESCR
* `make test' is broken. It looks like there's some missing LDFLAGS on
-L${X11BASE}/lib
