Re: Use Postgres as meson wrap subproject

You right Eliot Haisley more complete patch because he replaced all occurrences of @SOURCE_DIR@ but I also added
include_directoriesto dependency, so it will not fail to find headers which are included in libpq headers. So if I
mergemy patch with Eliot’s  it should be fine. I can send complete patch after it’s done. 
About meson wrap subproject. In my projects I really like to have fallback if there is no system lib available or
systemlib have not compatible version. Basically I use it as package manager for my C/C++ projects, I just put the link
togit into wrap file, provide dependency and that’s it, meson does all the work. Ideally everything in my project
shouldbe build from scratch without any prebuilt binaries, so I can cross-compile to any platform that I want and
build/packagingof project becomes much easier.
