My secret to finding this is to check the .github folder to see what
they use for CI. Between that and reading the build.rs I learned that if
BAT_ASSETS_GEN_DIR or OUT_DIR is set then the generated assets will go
in that directory. I adjusted the custom phase(s) accordingly to
generate them and then install those files.

I really appreciated your attention to the descriptions for the
packages, some of them were much much better than what upstream had.

Patches added to the rust-team branch!
