With this change, libepoxy can be consumed as a subproject without making any changes to the build files of a project. All you need to do is provide a wrap file with a [provide] section:
This is also necessary because otherwise projects need to hard-code the subproject name, which might be libepoxy when using wrap-git or libepoxy-1.5.10 when using wrap-file (to build from a release tarball). This can cause conflicts between different subprojects that consume libepoxy differently.
Other projects like glib, cairo, pango, etc already do this.
