In commit c6ba79e ("generator.py: Use cargo run instead of guessing path") the `cargo build` command on the default (hardcoded) `"gir"` directory was replaced with a single `cargo run` for correctly finding the right executable. This isn't an issue given that `cargo run` also builds the tool, and above all makes it easier / more correct to find the binary as the primary reason for that commit, but it does make us lose the build log as a progress indicator (thanks to `--quiet` and capturing `stderr`). In addition, it causes the first `` => Looking in path `xxx` `` item to take a very long time without aforementioned progres indication, making the user wonder what is going on. By building `gir` again with a separate `cargo build` invocation before running, this issue is alleviated somewhat.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The TODO here means: should we come up with a different way, instead of "guessing/hardcoding" this relative directory?
