In the short term I don't know how much it really hurts to duplicate the sources in meson vs reading the makefiles, I also haven't had a chance to look at what Jose did in scons, but if upstreaming fails that is probably a good starting point. I'd like to try to get something upstream rather than hacking around meson, since that has been very successful in the past. I should also point out that meson's LLVM handling is due for a pretty major overhaul (patches waiting more review and merge), and that we really want that support anyway (among other things meson's LLVM inserts -L/usr/lib into your linker args, and as of 0.43 lacks static/dynamic linking options. There are also some features that are in 0.43 (we currently support back to at least 0.42, I haven't tested further back than that) that we will need to work on windows (our workarounds involve using touch). There's also still a lot of work to do to get our meson build system up to the quality of our autotools and scons build systems, so I think we have some time before we need to worry really hard about it.
