   As I'm working on the experimental maturin support for #1040 I'm going to convert the existing examples to maturin soon, probably this week.

   I'll add a new minimalist example showing setuptools-rust configuration.

   You should be able to just leave the setuptools part in since maturin simply ignores those files, so that the setuptools fans still get an example.

   Having started playing around with this, I found that it's nicer to make separate maturin and setuptools-rust examples because then it's easier for users to see what configuration is needed depending on the packaging tool they chose.

   I ran into a bit of a speedbump with the tox testing of the maturin example. You've seen already the PRs I put into tox and maturin to resolve this, though I still have issues because the PEP 517 out-of-tree build fails because the pyo3 path = "../../" obviously doesn't get found when building in a temporary directory.

   I'm trying to decide if I should hack in a wrapper around maturin as a PEP 517 "inline backend" to solve this issue, or whether to give up and just test the setuptools-rust bit using tox.

   Hopefully I can find some time to have another go at finishing this off soon.
