+## Can override find_program
+
+It is now possible to override the result of `find_program` to point
+to a custom program you want. The overriding is global and applies to
+every subproject from there on. Here is how you would use it.
+
+In master project
+
+```meson
+subproject('mydep')
+```
+
+In the called subproject:
+
+```meson
+prog = find_program('my_custom_script')
+meson.override_find_program('mycodegen', prog)
+```
+
+In master project (or, in fact, any subproject):
+
+```meson
+genprog = find_program('mycodegen')
+```
+
+Now `genprog` points to the custom script. If the dependency had come
+from the system, then it would point to the system version.
