Now that meson (from version 0.53 onwards) has a "filesystem" module, with an "exists" function, we can perhaps look to introduce a "developer mode" build again, based off the presence of the .git folder. Alternatively, we could make "developer mode" a regular meson option rather than trying to be too smart about it. [Or combine both and have developer mode option with "enabled"/"disabled"/"auto-detect" values] /Bruce
