Migrate from numpy.distutils to meson #426

Closed vnmanoharan closed 7 months ago

vnmanoharan commented 7 months ago

numpy.distutils, which we use to build the Fortran extensions and handle packaging, is now deprecated. SciPy is now using meson and we should probably do the same.

meson build is now in develop (see #434) and is working on Linux and Windows. Needs to be tested on other platforms.
