This comes up now and again when people try do do something like:
meson.build:
```meson
my_sources = ['foo.c']
subdir('subdir')
executable('foo', my_sources)
```
subdir/meson.build:
```meson
my_sources += ['bar.c']
```
- Add libraries from InternalDependency.libraries
- Deprecate association of libraries from the "libraries" keyword
argument to the generated pkg-config file.
This variant was added to allow introspection before configuring a build
directory. This is useful for IDE integration to allow displaying and/or
setting options for the initial configuration of the build directory.
It also allows showing basic information about the project even if it's
not yet configured or configuring failed.
The project 'name' field in --projectinfo is used inconsistently:
For the top level project it always shows the name configured in
the top level meson.build file. For subprojects it's referring to the
name of the directory the subproject's meson.build is contained in.
To have a consistent output and preserve the existing behavior this adds
the 'descriptive_name' field which always shows the name set in the
project.
To be consistent the 'descriptive_name' field was also added to the
--projectfiles variant that uses an already configured build.
It also extends the information shown with the list of buildsystem-files.
This is currently only implemented in the variant for unconfigured
projects.
Some compilers try very had to pretend they're another compiler (ICC
pretends to be GCC and Linux and MacOS, and MSVC on windows), Clang
behaves much like GCC, but now also has clang-cl, which behaves like MSVC.
This method provides an easy way to determine whether testing for MSVC
like arguments `/w1234` or gcc like arguments `-Wfoo` are likely to
succeed, without having to check for dozens of compilers and the host
operating system, (as you would otherwise have to do with ICC).
Hotdoc really wants internal links to point to the .md files instead of
the generated names. Which makes sense, as we're currently relying on
the fact that meson only generated .html pages.
