It seems to work with "meson setup build" to prepare a building
directory in "./build/", and then you cd to there and follow up with
"meson compile".

The default building will want dbus and systemd-logind (so not of use
for sane people :). The running will further require an associated
libinput module which is sourced elsewhere.

If you build and experiment with using, say, vt8, make sure you have a
means to shift back to vt7 (or your previous vt) other than relying on
a working keyboard. (E.g., I have a key generating acpi events that
I've bound to executing "chvt 7")
