When `ninja -C builddir/ test` is run, ninja will change into the build
dir before starting, but `meson test -C builddir/` does not. This is
important because meson does not use (for good reasons) absolute paths,
which means if a test case needs to be passed as an argument a file name
that is part of the build process, it will be relative builddir. Without
changing into the builddir the path will not exist (or worse, point at
the wrong thing), and test will not behave as intended.
To fix this mtest will change directory before starting tests, and will
change back after all tests have been finished.
Fixes#2710
Depending on the tool (moc, uic, rcc, lrelease), the Qt version
(4.8, 5.7, 5.9) and the distribution (Fedora, debian,...) it seems you
cannot predict which of -v or -version will be supported.

Currently passing a bad combo or array option, providing a non-boolean
to a bool arg, or a host of other things can cause an traceback from a
MesonException, don't do that.
Fixes#2683
Although some other base types like boolean objects can be expresed
as strings, this is not possible with int objects.
This patch adds support to express int values as strings as hex,
decimal or octal values.
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.
Some dependencies can be detected multiple ways, such as a config tool
and pkg-config. For pkg-config a new PkgConfigDependency is created and
used to check for the dependency, config tool dependencies are handled
ad-hoc. This allows the ConfigToolDependency to be used in the same way
that PkgConfigDependency is.
