Flag: library path
This issue is part of https://github.com/steveklabnik/rustdoc/issues/125
-L/--library-path:
Using this flag looks like this:
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -L target/debug/deps
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --library-path target/debug/deps
If your crate has dependencies, rustdoc needs to know where to find them.
Passing --library-path gives rustdoc a list of places to look for these
dependencies.
This flag takes any number of directories as its argument, and will use all of them when searching.
Should we keep this flag or not?
This seems pretty important.
Similar to https://github.com/steveklabnik/rustdoc/issues/135#issuecomment-325030629 I am not sure if --library-path is needed. cargo supports configuring library paths through build.rs, which rustdoc honors when generating the analysis.
