Re: [RFC libdrm 0/2] Replace the build system with meson

[Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@gmail.com>]

It might make sense to give more attention to cmake just because many
mesa-related projects are already using it: llvm, piglit, vulkan
loader and demos, mesa-demos, etc. Not sure how well it supports BSDs
and windows, but everyone building graphics stacks or contributing to
mesa should already be comfortable with cmake thanks to piglit and
llvm, which might not be the case for meson.
