autotools to meson build - upgrade

[okias]

Hello guys,

I'd like to create Gentoo ebuild for mconnect (since I didn't found any). Before I'll start making it, would you guys consider moving to Meson build system [1] (as successor of automake ugly things?).

• In case you do, I'll wait little bit.
• If you not willing to do it, but you accept pull request, I can do it (it will take more time, but still good way to go)
• in scenario when you'll reject Meson work, I'll just create ebuild based on old autotools..

Thanks David

I've recently pushed meson support to bboozzoo/tls-support branch. I plan to merge the branch later this week.

BTW. I'll probably keep both autotools and meson in the tree for a while and then transition to meson only builds.

Meson support is in master now.
