I think a Visual Studio plugin is a very good start, since the IDE already supports C/C++ and I guess these users are a very important target audience for Rust.
There is also a Rust extension for the IntelliJ platform [0]. It supports some basic IDE features, but the last commit was in February. The Rust extension could fit really good to Jetbrains' new C/C++ IDE CLion.
