Walter said you should invest a lot of time waiting for the build 
process? :P

Any changes that upstream Meson is happy with are fine :-)
The best thing to help with improving Meson support one can 
possibly do at the moment would be fixing this DMDFE feature

This will also benefit a lot of other build systems that use 
incremental builds.
