a new shiny buildtool that currently completes in the total of ~ 4 min..
1 min. conf time
2:30 min. build time
Where autotools takes:
1:50 min. conf time
3:40 min. build time.
meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.

Depends on D7011
While a rewritten template-based doc generator is pending addition
into a separate repository, at least fix this one so that it works
in case we decide to go back to it, because right now it's just
failing because of out of date code.
The fixes here are based on the revamped documentation generator
that will be introduced.
Doc refs no longer introduce new dependencies into files. Instead,
they're parsed globally, and any doc ref lookup is also made
globally. This allows unit based dependencies to correspond more
to what files actually really need at compile time/runtime, with
docs being irrelevant to that; it also simplifies the API.
The doc resolution API now takes Eolian_State instead of
Eolian_Unit, too.
This is useless in py as Objects are never returned
directly, you always get the correct subtype (Class,
Variable, etc..). It was also clashing with Class.type
Two of the new tests are failing, the problem is that now
we have name clashes between Eolian_Object and Eolian_Class (at least)
For the moment I spotted:
- Object.name clash with Class.name
- Object.type clash with Class.type
Also fixed a typo in eolian_lib.py spotted by the new tests,
and removed the old tests for Declaration.
I still think that namespaces should be directly exposed by eolian.
Currently pyolian provide a namespace implementation but it's
hard to get it right, and it should be really shared between
all eolian users.
As it is no longer necessary to pass unit when evaluating exprs,
it is not necessary to pass it here either. Convert all the APIs
to the new style and update all instances in our tree.
