I think it is possible roughly as follows
- Create a minimal configure.ac that only runs gnulib, nothing else
- In meson, we have to run 'configure' using 'run_command'
- Define 'custom_target' that invokes 'make'
- Declare a dependancy for the result of the custom_target and
add that as a pre-req for every other target
The main problem when I was exploring this is that 'run_command' does
not show any output from configure. So you don't see the progress
messages from configure. This is not nice, but also not the end of the
world since this configure script will be much smaller than what we have
today, and getting ever smaller as we purge more gnulib.
