Describe the problem you are trying to solve

One of my projects (Godot) needs compiled libraries to be put in a very specific location. Leaving them in build is not useful, because I'm ignoring the entire containing directory.

Describe the solution you'd like

The unstable --out-dir flag to Cargo (tracking issue: #6790) is ideal for this. But because the output location is always the same, I'd like to put it in .cargo/config.

But alas, even though target-dir is supported in Cargo configuration files, out-dir is not (as of cargo 1.40.0-nightly (3ba5f2717 2019-10-22)):

$ cargo build
warning: unused key `build.out-dir` in config file `/.../.cargo/config`

Notes
target-dir is supported, so this just seems like a missing implementation to me rather than intentional design.
