Binaries? #1

Description

@Pomax

Given that the power of rust is that it compiles binaries, so that folks don't need to "have rust in order to run rust code", like they need for python of node.js, needing to have rust installed to use the sukr tool feels like it's still missing the last step that makes rust projects so great: you just download the executable and off you go.

Github actions provide build environments for pretty much all platforms, certainly mac, windows, and the debian and rpm flavours of linux so compiling binaries and hosting those on the releases page should be relatively little work, and would mean that instead of "clone the repo, install rust, then install as a rust dependency using cargo" it's "download the executable. You're done. The beauty of compiled languages" =)
