Otherwise we can't do the following workflow:
if not find_program('foo', required : false).found()
subproject('provides-foo')
endif
Where 'provides-foo' has a meson.override_find_program() on
a configure_file() or similar.
Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
This was caused by the dependencies only appearing in Libs.private even
if they are needed in the default linking mode. But a user of a
dependency should not have to know if the default linking mode is static
or dynamic; A dependency('somelib') call should always pull in all
needed pieces into the build.
Now for meson build static libraries passed via `libraries` to the generate
method automatically promote dependencies to public.
The added format argument for configure_file allows to specify the kind of
file that is treated. It defaults to 'meson', but can also have the 'cmake'
or 'cmake@' value to treat config.h.in files in the cmake format with #cmakedefine
statements.
Copy the algorithm used by autoconf.
It computes the upper and lower limits by starting at [-1,1] and
multiply by 2 at each iteration. This is even faster for small numbers
(the common case), for example it finds value 0 in just 2 compilations
where old algorithm would check for 1024, 512, ..., 0.
This is due to incorrect creation of dependency files:
both compilers do not escape spaces in paths.
As of version 1.21.22 of lcc, it is announced that
this bug will be corrected in future versions.
Test 132 was a template for such idea; it has been also
extended to react not only to icc, but to lcc too.

Fixes the bug with flat layout and identical target names in subprojects.
Without this change directories are not created with subproject prefix
and they can collide.
Remove dead makedirs code in Backend.__init__(), during initialization
of backend build.targets is empty. Create output directories in
Vs2010Backend.generate_projects() instead.
Also use double blank line in run_unittests.py according to
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#blank-lines.
Former test is extremely hard to follow,
target names are inconsistent with directory names,
test case mixes up 2 separate testing scenarios,
names are meaningless. In order to fix this
provides comments what each command is doing and why,
renamed targets into descriptive and longer names,
made names consistent with contents so that it is easier
to follow test logic without looking up source code.
