I got this stuff by cloning https://github.com/cds-astro/cds-healpix-rust.git cd-in into libpython, running RUSTFLAGS='-C target-cpu=native' cargo build --release and copying target/release/libcdshealpix_ffi.so and python/healpix.py to here. It's used to create the MOCs while the C++ library sucks when making polygons.
