Meson experimental build

    HI everyone,

    I have in the past experimented with the CMake build system and made some improvements to log4cpp CMake specs. I recently shared those changes as a patch in https://sourceforge.net/p/log4cpp/patches/47/. Lately I used log4cpp to learn about the Meson build system. I found I like it a lot more than CMake. The syntax and the semantic are much more clear. Though it is not as mature being a newer project, I just missed one or two non critical features. I have to say that Meson is the nicest build system I ever tried, and build systems are not something that I usually give praise ;-)
    I created a repository to share the configurations at https://github.com/adobni/log4cpp. The branch meson is where I'm developing the meson build and cmake-update where the changes from the patch mentioned above live.

    Cheers,
    Alejandro

    It is currently building in Linux (Clang/GCC) and Windows (VS2017) with auto testing of available features. I might also experimient adding to my fork some modern c++11 features in a different branch..
