-## Specifying options per mer machine
-
-Previously, no cross builds were controllable from the command line.
-Machine-specific options like the pkg-config path and compiler options only
-affected native targets, that is to say all targets in native builds, and
-`native: true` targets in cross builds. Now, prefix the option with `build.` to
-affect build machine targets, and leave it unprefixed to affect host machine
-targets.
-
-For those trying to ensure native and cross builds to the same platform produced
-the same result, the old way was frustrating because very different invocations
-were needed to affect the same targets, if it was possible at all. Now, the same
-command line arguments affect the same targets everwhere --- Meson is closer to
-ignoring whether the "overall" build is native or cross, and just caring about
-whether individual targets are for the build or host machines.
