Hello Frans,

I think this means that Meson will be looking for ../meson.build while
running in the build/ directory.


Correct,

$ meson --help
usage: meson [-h] [--prefix PREFIX] [--libdir LIBDIR]

 [directories [directories ...]]

How else would you point to the parent directory?  It's just like cmake in 
this regard.
