Is it possible to decouple sqlx from cargo?

[yagehu]

We have plans to consolidate our build systems to Bazel, i.e. not using Cargo for Rust code. I did some prototyping and sqlx's compile-time checks require some Cargo-specific things like environment variables CARGO or cargo manifest. I love sqlx and would like to continue using it. Before I start any design/implementation for this, I would like to get some high-level feedback or advice.

• How tightly is sqlx coupled with Cargo?
• Are folks here open to this type of opt-in feature?
