So... what does it do better than CMake and autotools? Looks like the answers can be found here, which would be a more pertinent link. Can we change the origin

So... what does it do better than CMake and autotools? Looks like the answers can be found here, which would be a more pertinent link. Can we change the original github link to this? http://mesonbuild.com/ http://mesonbuild.com/ At a glance, I don't see how it solves the problem that autotools solves: test for features, not for versions. Not sure if that's a problem people are trying to solve anymore. Instead, everyone is required to have the latest version of everything at all times to build, I suppose, and building older versions is never supported.
