Maybe this was discussed already, but if not: do we want to have a script
that would bundle meson + ninja commands, so that we could just
"./build_and_dont_bother_me.sh". The advantage would be that we could set
some defaults, just like we're doing for autogen.sh with "--system".
When I was looking into this topic I found that some projects have
configure which is a shell script that calls meson setup and Makefile
which calls ninja -C build. Other projects switched completely and
removed all files related to autotools, automake, shell, make.
I don't think there is a need for such script as developers usually have
their own scripts to build projects. And for the --system option that
one is actually ported to meson, you can use it like this:
meson build -Dsystem=true
ninja -C build
./build/src/libvirtd
./build/tools/virsh
