Hi Andres,

Thanks for working on this! I'm very enthusiastic about this effort and I was
glad to see on PGCon Unconference that the majority of the community seems
to be as well.

Was SCons considered as an option? It is widely adopted and written in Python
as well. Personally, I like the fact that with SCons you write config files
in pure Python, not some dialect you have to learn additionally. There is
a free e-book available [1].

What pros and cons do you see that make Meson a better choice?
