In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

- supported as "Link with Libraries".
- Frameworks added as a group to the project
- no need to specify custom linker flags anymore, xcodeproj works just like ninja
example mason.build file :
dep_main += [dependency('appleframeworks', modules : ['Foundation', 'AppKit', 'IOKIT', 'QuartzCore', 'OpenGL', 'GLUT', 'OpenAL'], required : true)]
This commit contains several changes to the naming and versioning of
shared and static libraries. The details are documented at:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/417
Here's a brief summary:
* The results of binary and compiler detection via environment functions
are now cached so that they can be called repeatedly without
performance penalty. This is necessary because every
build.SharedLibrary object has to know whether the compiler is MSVC or
not (output filenames depend on that), and so the compiler detection
has to be called for each object instantiation.
* Linux shared libraries don't always have a library version. Sometimes
only soversions are specified (and vice-versa), so support both.
* Don't use versioned filenames when generating DLLs, DLLs are never
versioned using the suffix in the way that .so libraries are. Hence,
they don't use "aliases". Only Linux shared libraries use those.
* OS X dylibs do not use filename aliases at all. They only use the
soversion in the dylib name (libfoo.X.dylib), and that's it. If
there's no soversion specified, the dylib is called libfoo.dylib.
Further versioning in dylibs is supposed to be done with the
-current_version argument to clang, but this is TBD.

* Install DLLs into bindir and import libraries into libdir
* Static libraries are now always called libfoo.a, even with MSVC
* .lib import libraries are always generated when building with MSVC
* .dll.a import libraries are always generated when building with
MinGW/GCC or MinGW/clang
* TODO: Use dlltool if available to generate .dll.a when .lib is
generated and vice-versa.
* Library and executable suffix/prefixes are now always correctly
overriden by the values of the 'name_prefix' and 'name_suffix' keyword
arguments.
Instead, return the values of the test and benchmark setup data files so
that the ninja/osx/vs backends can use those filenames instead of
hard-coding them.
This makes the following changes:
* Explicitly closes the file for force flushing (this fixes an issue on which the last 2 or 3 lines weren't being written to disk)
* Adds another check on the PBXBuildFile stage to get the file name if the returned source type is a File instead of a string
Fixes issue #337
