indicate where to copy config.toml.example

Hm perhaps this could say "copy this file to the object directory" or something like that? I think we need to be a bit more specific than "../config.toml"

[durka]

Personally I wouldn't know where the "object directory" is. Or did that autocorrect from "parent directory"?

[durka]

The paragraph below makes it sound like you could run bootstrap.py from any directory and it would look for config.toml in the CWD. Is that so?

[TimNN]

@durka Yes

[alexcrichton]

Ah yeah "object directory" == "cwd of the invocation of bootstrap.py"

@alexcrichton some other tools (e.g. rustfmt) look up the directory tree if config.toml doesn't exist, so if you had several rust builds in a dir you could put a global config.toml above them or something like that. Would that be desirable behavior for rustbuild?

[alexcrichton]

Hm perhaps! I haven't thought too much about it but seems reasonable. Dealing with conflicting configuration though might be kinda unfortunate.
