Thinking of doing this work, as an alternative to #16

Goals:

Out of tree builds
Simplify dependency management
Ability to vendor deps when needed
Easy cross-compile
Sane build language
Speedy builds with the Ninja backend
Ability to export Visual Studio projects

Challenges:

Packing an MSI is not included by default with meson, but it can be done using the same tools as before.
Packing for macOS is not included by default, but this is documented in their site
IDE support is slightly smaller than CMake (however, Jetbrain's CLion announced Meson support for their 2023.3 release)
