[PATCH v2 0/2] contrib/plugins: Migrate to the Meson build

[Anton Kochkov]

Makefile made a lot of assumption regarding the system to compile for.
It was also limited to the Linux (and possibly BSD) only, without the way
to compile for macOS or Windows.

Changes since v1:
- Remove Makefile

[PATCH v2 1/2] contrib/plugins: add meson build file

[Anton Kochkov]

Add crossplatform Meson file to build TCG plugins since
the Makefile makes wrong assumptions about it being used only
on Linux. Tested on Linux and macOS.

Thanks for letting me know this on GitLab.

The default value should be provided in meson_options.txt.

I think the following is more idiomatic:
qemu_include = qemu_src / 'include/qemu'

Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] contrib/plugins: add meson build file

[Akihiko Odaki]

I used a wrong email account.

I also forgot to mention that you must update other places referring to 
the Makefile. I'm aware of the following:
- root Makefile
- tests/tcg/Makefile.target
- docs/devel/tcg-plugins.rst
