Question: should the meson scripts be moved into vcpkg-meson or vcpkg-tool-meson? The former would allow separate versioning of the scripts vs meson but i would assume both are tightly coupled depending on the features future meson versions support.

Should be moved to vcpkg-meson.

Should be moved to vcpkg-meson.

ok for the future. I still don't know how to deal with the possible pkgconf dependency. I feel like there needs to be a vcpkg-meson-script dependency (without a dep on pkgconf) and a vcpkg-meson dependency with a dep to pkgconf so pkgconf itself can use vcpkg-meson-script. Cannot add it as a feature since that won't work ;)

Thanks for the fix! (I'm kinda taking your word that this is correct since I know very little about meson but I don't see any obvious kittens killed here :) )

I'm kinda taking your word that this is correct since

you can look at the build logs of static builds before and after this change.
Before it was just calling lib <args>
Now with ar being able to be passed to meson it should be calling <fullpathtolib> <args>
I tested this stuff with my custom llvm triplet and it finally works together with meson.....

I know very little about meson

i wouldn't call me an expert either. I just know it is riddled with annoying bugs and hasn't learned from other buildsystems.
