Adding a cargo.toml like file to mods?

Cargo (the Rust package manager) has a file that defines the package, dependencies, and such.

If Minetest used such a file, dependencies could be downloaded automatically from a GitHub link.

That is the intention of mod.conf which is currently implemented in minetest. However, it is not used for anything more than setting the name of the mod.
