Fix a footgun. In my case, I had a couple of build ("output")
directories sitting around.
rm -rf build-*
Was confused for a bit why a meson.build file was missing.
Probably also helps with autocompletion.
I tried meson-build-support first, but I had to add something like
a nix- prefix, in order to make meson happy. They've reserved the
meson- prefix.
Since lib{expr,store,util}-test-support subprojects define nix_api_* helpers
for testing nix c bindings, they need to publicly depend on -c counterparts.
This makes their headers self-sufficient and does not rely on the -tests to add
necessary dependencies.
This reduces the amount of boilerplate. More importantly, it provides
a place to add compiler flags (such as -O3) without having to add it
to every subproject (and the risk of forgetting to include it).
