David Turner 66978a5887 Add Meson build project file.
Example usage:

  # Configure Meson build in directory `build-meson` to generate
  # release binaries comparable to to the ones from the
  # autotools/make build system.
  meson setup build-meson \
        --prefix=/usr/local \
        --buildtype=debugoptimized \
        --strip \
        -Db_ndebug=true

  # After configuring the Meson build with the above command,
  # compile and install to `/usr/local/`; this includes a pkg-config
  # file.
  ninja -C build-meson install

  # Alternatively, compile and install to `/tmp/aa/usr/local/...`
  # for packaging.
  DESTDIR=/tmp/aa ninja -C build-meson install

  # Generate documentation under `build-meson/docs`.
  ninja -C build-meson docs

Library size comparison for stripped `libfreetype.so` generated by
all three build systems:

  - Default build (autotools + libtool): 712 KiB
  - CMake build (RelWithDebInfo):        712 KiB
  - Meson build:                         712 KiB

* meson.build: New top-level Meson build file for the library.

* meson_options.txt: New file.  It holds user-selectable options for
the build, which can be printed with `meson configure`, and selected
at `meson setup` or `meson --reconfigure` time with
`-D<option>=<value>`.

* scripts/parse_modules_cfg.py: A script invoked by `meson.build` to
parse `modules.cfg` and extract important information out of it
(i.e., the list of modules).

* scripts/process_ftoption_h.py: New script invoked by `meson.build`
to process the original `ftoption.h` file.  It enables or disables
configuration macro variables based on the available dependencies.
This is similar to what other build systems are using (i.e., Meson's
`configure_file()` command is not used here).

* scripts/extract_freetype_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the FreeType version number from
`<freetype/freetype.h>`.

* scripts/extract_libtool_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the libtool `revision_info` data from
`builds/unix/configure.raw`, and to generate the corresponding
shared library suffix.

* scripts/generate_reference_docs.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to generate the FreeType 2 reference documentation
(using the `docwriter` and `mkdocs` packages, which must be already
installed).

README

  FreeType 2.10.2
  ===============

  Homepage: https://www.freetype.org

  FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.

  It  is  written  in  C,  designed to  be  small,  efficient,  highly
  customizable, and  portable while capable of  producing high-quality
  output  (glyph  images) of  most  vector  and bitmap  font  formats.

  Please   read   the  docs/CHANGES   file,   it  contains   IMPORTANT
  INFORMATION.

  Read the  files `docs/INSTALL*'  for installation  instructions; see
  the file `docs/LICENSE.TXT' for the available licenses.

  The FreeType  2 API  reference is located  in `docs/reference/site';
  use the file `index.html' as the top entry point.  [Please note that
  currently the  search function  for locally  installed documentation
  doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.]

  Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our
  sites.  Go to

    https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/

  and download one of the following files.

    freetype-doc-2.10.2.tar.xz
    freetype-doc-2.10.2.tar.gz
    ftdoc2102.zip

  To view the documentation online, go to

    https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/


  Mailing Lists
  =============

  The preferred way  of communication with the FreeType  team is using
  e-mail lists.

    general use and discussion:      freetype@nongnu.org
    engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
    announcements:                   freetype-announce@nongnu.org
    git repository tracker:          freetype-commit@nongnu.org

  The lists are moderated; see

    https://www.freetype.org/contact.html

  how to subscribe.


  Bugs
  ====

  Please submit bug reports at

    https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype

  Alternatively,    you   might    report    bugs    by   e-mail    to
  `freetype-devel@nongnu.org'.   Don't  forget   to  send  a  detailed
  explanation of the problem --  there is nothing worse than receiving
  a terse message that only says `it doesn't work'.


  Patches
  =======

  Please  submit patches  to  the `freetype-devel@nongnu.org'  mailing
  list  --  and thank  you  in  advance  for  your work  on  improving
  FreeType!

  Details on the process can be found here:

    https://www.freetype.org/developer.html#patches


  Enjoy!
