Personally I think the idea is worth pursuing, but I admit I don't have
much experience with meson/ninja.  How much churn can we expect from
meson changes? It seems there is something like one meson point release
per month.

Are the tests supposed to be working fully in this version? When I run

% meson && cd build && ninja && ninja test

I get failures in T010, T351, T356, T357, T391, T395, and T710.  At a
glance it looks like mainly out-of-tree related problems to finding
e.g. json_check_nodes.py and message-id-parse. It also looks like a few
variables like TEST_RUBY and NOTMUCH_HAVE_PYTHON3_CFFI are not being
set.
