There should probably be a warning here about how there's no way to 
export a build configuration and how every minor or point update of 
meson requires you to delete your build directories and reconfigure 
everything from scratch.

Also how user-supplied C/C++ flags get merged in with Meson's idea of 
what the flags should be with the debug/debugoptimized/release 
configurations and if you want complete control of the build flags you 
should use the "plain" build type.
