I wonder how much Rust's default to statically link almost everything helped here? That should make deployment of uv even easier?

I don't think this makes a meaningful difference. The installation is a `curl | sh`, which downloads a tarball, which gets extracted to some directory in $PATH.

It currently includes two executables, but having it contain two executables and a bunch of .so libraries would be a fairly trivial change. It only gets messy when you want it to make use of system-provided versions of the libraries, rather than simply vendoring them all yourself.
