motivation:

some people (me, for instance :)) do not use a directory below the mediawiki core directory as extensions directory. in my case, for example, i have a symbolic link named "extensions" pointing to a directory "parallel" to the core software directory:

_extensions/
mediawiki/
mediawiki/extensions -> ../_extensions

normally, as a "fix" extensions allow to set the environment variable MW_INSTALL_PATH to help them discovery the mw core software directory. as of now, cargo lacks this support.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/345524/ aims to correct that.
