	The limiting-factor crate offers facilities to implement a REST API.

	## Goal

	The goal of this library is to provide:

	- glue code for Rocket and Diesel
	- standard API replies
	- boilerplate to parse environment to extract configuration and run a server

	That allows an API or a back-end web server to focus on requests and data model,
	and to maintain helper methods as a separate library.

	## Dependencies

	* Diesel, as PostgreSQL ORM, with r2d2 support to pool connections
	* Rocket, as web framework
	* Chrono, for date and time types

	## Compile

	### Windows

	You need to give to `rustc` some hints about where `libpq.lib` is.

	This is known to have worked:

	```
	setenv LIB "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\lib
	cargo clean
	cargo run
	```


	## Credits

	The glue code to use Rocket with Diesel is adapted from the Rocket guide.
