Why this way, rather than recursing into the submodule? Seems a bit fragile to
encode details of the library here.

+maintainers of meson.build. I apologize for not adding them when I sent the
patches out initially. I copied the email list from Elena, but Elena did not make
any changes to meson.build - stupid me.

John, 

    This way appears to be present convention with QEMU - I’m also not very clear
on the reason for it.

For example submodules such as slirp (libslirp), capstone (libcapstone),
dtc (libfdt) are built this way.

I’m guessing it’s because QEMU doesn’t build all parts of a submodule. For
example, QEMU only builds libfdt in the doc submodule. Similarly,
libvfio-user only builds the core library without building the tests and samples.

For slirp and dtc, we are eventually going to use meson subproject(). No
idea about capstone.

You can give subproject options to build limited parts.

Fwiw, since libvfio-user uses cmake, we may be able to use meson
cmake.subproject() (https://mesonbuild.com/CMake-module.html).

That'd be great. We also briefly discussed moving away from cmake anyway - since
both SPDK and qemu are meson-based, it seems like it would make sense. I'd
prefer it to be easy to regularly update libvfio-user within these projects.

Ideally, running qemu tests would actually run libvfio-user tests too, for some
level of assurance on the library's internal expectations.
