Since gpgme 1.13.0, pkg-config files are available and this is the
preferred way to detect the dependency. Without this, projects that wish
to generate pkg-config files that Requires.private on gpgme, now have
their custom dependency() fallbacks overridden with an incorrect
configtool dependency.
We say 'different dependencies support different values for this', but
nowhere document what values are supported, so the only way to find these
out is to read the source, or guess. Make a start at doing that.
PR #1852 only adds mention of this to the release note.
I think it's useful to have a list of all dependency names which are treated
specifically in Dependency.md, so add 'thread' and 'openmp'.
The example provided for the `get_pkgconfig_variable` when using using the `define_variable` parameter is not the best example, because it is using `prefix` for both. This changes the retrieved variable for `libdir` so the efect of the variable redefinition is more noticeable.
Meson is able to redefine variables when retrieving them from
`pkg-config` dependencies. However, the documentation is missing.
This patch adds documentation for this feature.
There are currently entries for cups and pcap; but not LLVM, GnuStep, or
WxWidgets. Instead of having an entry for each of these just have a
single entry for all of them, since the majority of the information is
duplicated between them anyway.
This is a cosmetic change because github seems to interpret those
correctly. Nonetheless, it adds unnecessary noise and makes people
modifying the pages think it might be needed.

The new implementation will correctly pick boost from 3 possible
locations on windows and two locations on posix compatible OSs.
The new search algorithm also differentiates between debug and
release builds of Boost and multi or single threading builds.
It was also decided to map "Meson modules" to Boost software libraries
and not Boost modules since it there are a lot of options regarding
linking. Some modules can even be used either as headers-only or with
dynamic linking.
This commit also fixes a bug that prevented header-only use on Windows.
Fixes: #2274#2239#1803#669
* add support for cups dependencies
libcups has its own cups-config tool rather than using pkg-config.
This adds support for cups-config, based on pcap-config and
sdl2-config implementations.
This change also includes the unit test case and documentation for
cups dependency object implementation, and libcups2 dep to CI image.
