Nice trick, using a dummy project with the only goal of letting Meson
handle things for us 🤯️

Even when it works only for Meson projects, that will cover a good amount
of our dependencies these days, including GTK, GLib, glib-networking and a
few others -- we can add later on .wrap files when needed for them.

Thanks for the review! I wanted to update the patch to allow the user to tune meson options with an env var, it's not working yet (for unknown reasons) but whenever I manage to get it working I'd like to update this patch and ask a new review, if that's OK with you. Or I can follow-up in a new patch.

It could be made to work with different build-systems as well, Meson has an "externalproject" module that I successfully used in another context: https://mesonbuild.com/External-Project-module.html#external-project-module

Patch LGTM, with a small nit that would be nice to tackle before landing :)

It would be better to use shlex.split() here, to allow passing options
that themselves contain spaces by quoting them inside the environment
variable, e.g:

   export WEBKIT_SDK_LOCAL_DEPS_OPTIONS='-Dsomeproject:someoption="value with spaces"'

I would say it is up to you: if you prefer to update the patch for this
bug, I can re-review; if you would rather do a follow-up that's fine as
well. The latter approach would allow to get the base functionality in
trunk faster, maybe ;-)
