It is not possible to use Postgres as meson wrap subproject at least out of
box. But I think it can be easily fixed. I made a small patch for libpq and it
works. There were two problems, first is catalog header generator using
@SOURCE_DIR@ as root for paths, which will use main root project as source dir,
so I just changed it to meson.project_source_root(). Second was that libpq
dependency include_directories had no dependent headers(for example
postgres_ext.h) so I just used include_directories that were also used in
libpq_so, libpq_st. So the patch looks like this for commit

So to use Postgres as wrap subproject u need to change @SOURCE_DIR@ to
meson.project_source_root() and check include_directories for all dependencies.
Is there any plans to support it?
