Hi,

this patch introduces meta-modules in Qbs:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/249274/1

> If a dependency is not found, we now search for a matching meta-module
> that can generate one for us. We also provide a generic fall-back
> meta-module which uses pkg-config to locate the dependency (but could be
> extended to incorporate other methods in the future). This is the most
> important part of this change for practical purposes, as it makes
> hundreds of popular libraries available for use in qbs projects without
> users having to write any boilerplate code. In a future patch, a
> meta-module could also be used to implement the functionality of the
> qtprofilesetup library, relieving users of the need to create a profile
> for building Qt applications.

This is an important conceptional addition and more people might be
interested to review and provide feedback.

Best regards
Richard
