Turns out it isn't.  It didn't work when I tried it the first time, and I
thought that this was the reason why.  But it turns out the real reason was
because you had been generating your Cargo.toml file with autotools.
That's no longer the case, after my last patch.  So you don't need the
workspace Cargo.toml file after all.
