Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work
out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give
up on autotools.
Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my
machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under
half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation.
Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build:
meson build
Then, compile the project:
ninja -C build
There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and
autotools. specifically:
1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual
update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make
this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all
update-po targets and runs them.
2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a
suitable tarball for distribution.
Currently when attempting to sync a group where all packages are
ignored, either by ignorepkg, ignoregroup or --needed, pacman
will error with "target not found".
Instead, if a group has no packages check if the group exists
before throwing an error.

Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on
spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default).
The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding
standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but
everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already
autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with
.editorconfig

Parsing pacman's configuration file is non-trivial and extremely
difficult to do correctly from scripts; even our own do it incorrectly.
pacman-conf is a dedicated tool specifically to allow scripts to parse
config files, getting the same value that pacman itself would use.

Default values for configuration settings were being set during alpm
setup and in some cases were never saved back to the original config
struct. Refactoring all default settings into a separate function and
saving them onto the original config struct will allow pacman-conf to
resolve the defaults without having to setup alpm.

--root is not sufficient to properly operate on a mounted guest system.
Using --root still uses the host system's configuration and there is no
way to correctly use the guest configuration without manually modifying
any Include directives. --sysroot provides an easier way to operate on
a guest system by chrooting immediately after option parsing before
configuration parsing or performing any operations. It is currently
limited to the root user, but that's enough for restoring a guest system
to a working state, which is the primary intended use case.
