+# unfortunately, we can't use resolver v2 right now, because one of the phf crates (i think it's phf_codegen) that are
+# pulled in by new_mime_guess' phf-map feature doesn't enable phf_shared's unicase feature when it should.
+# this causes new_mime_guess' build.rs to fail with errors about PhfHash traits and such not being implemented for
+# UniCase<&str>.
+# there's no way to fix this in either fif or new_mime_guess itself, short of a patch (which can't be used on
+# crates.io), so we'll have to disable the new resolver for now :(
