makefile bad crabs mad

You should look into cargo's git features! You shouldn't have to use makefiles & batch scripts. ;)

I think I had a semi-good reason for using Makefiles instead of patch/deps features of Cargo, vaguely remember it was related to updating of multiple crates at once.

But agreed, cargo.toml is a better approach. Especially now that this repository is more in a maintenance mode than in active development.
