I propose to add the meson build system, concurrently, to the autotools build chain.
The addition of meson is completely orthogonal to autotools setup, thus, both can exist side-by-side.
However, at the cost of higher build system maintenance.
In order to build with meson, one requires meson and ninja (both can be downloaded as binaries).
An advantage of the meson build system, we use Vftrace as subproject to any project using meson, hence, no need for a standalone installation of Vftrace and manual addition of linker flags.
