Meson is way better than autotools, but if you're too level to depend on python, you're probably needing to customize your build scripts in the ways you mention. I don't see meson being a silver bullet there.

Also, meson's build dependencies (muon, python) are a lot for some of these projects.

If a projects build system can't depend on python, that let's leave them in the dust, ffs..

What if the project is python or a dependency of python?
