Hi!

Fine with me, less work for me to do. I'd look into futures-bounded and uint 
next. :)

Other missing dependencies of the libp2p stack I noticed would be:

- attohttpc
- igd-next
- quick-protobuf-codec (apparently part of the libp2p repo though, so I would 
skip this one)

Let me know if there's others you would like to see packaged/skipped.

If you want to take over/adopt the rw-stream-sink and multistream-select crates 
that's also fine with me.

Thanks for working on this!

cheers,
