Hi all, this is just a simple example of introducing Meson into the build system, converting a few contrib/ subprojects to use it instead of Makefile.objs. There are certainly many rough edges, but I wanted to throw this out to show what it could look like.
I chose contrib/ because it's a simple example of how the current build system causes clutter in the toplevel Makefiles and how interrelated the Makefile, Makefile.objs and contrib/*/Makefile.objs file are even for such simple executables.
