maturin: PEP 517 integration
The recent PEP 517 specifies an interface for alternative build systems to be defined, which is exactly what’s happening here.
To do that, pyo3-pack would need to provide a very simple Python interface with the following hooks:
build_wheelto build a wheelbuild_sdistto build a gztarred archive of the source code (actual semantics are defined in the PEP).
Then, releasing the pyo3-pack module to PyPI would allow users to specify the build system in pyproject.toml, making it easier to build a Rust wheel without setuptools.

pip 19.0 supports PEP 517 now: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/.
I’ve finished sdist support in 78c516f and published a beta version with the (as far as I tested) complete PEP 517 support. Testing and experience reports with the new beta are welcome! The usage is documented in the readme, even though you need to specify
pyo3-pack==0.7.0-beta.1instead of justpyo3-packor usepip install --pre.
