Support Meson

[nullgemm]

Hi, I would like to add support for SheenBidi in libraqm (issue), which uses the increasingly popular Meson build system - as do all of its current dependencies. It would be amazing if SheenBidi supported Meson as well, since it can automatically build libraries that also use it when they are not installed on the host system (details here). Given SheenBidi does not have a package in most distros, Meson really is a must-have for us. Is supporting it something you can do?

Thanks :)

Hi, I'm new to this system but I have added experimental support for the Meson build system. The code is pushed in feature/meson branch. Please let me know if it works for you.

Thank you very much for making theses changes so quickly! I'll let you know how it goes for me :)

Seems good so far with a few changes to allow Meson to build SheenBidi as a subproject. If you don't mind making these changes I think we can close the issue :)

I have added the dependency line. Please verify if everything is working ok, then I'll merge the branch in master.

Looks good to me. Thanks :)
