   I spent some time working with this to see if there was any easy way out of the "meson python doesn't make it easy to build a Python package in a subdirectory" problem, and I wonder if a slightly lower barrier to entry would be to keep the existing `bootstrap.py` behaviour (i.e., generate the single-file exports and .pxd and put them in `python/vendor`) and use Meson to build those instead of attempting to have `nanoarrow` as a subproject (getting nanoarrow to be a proper subproject could be a follow-up). That way we would get the benefit of meson-python as a build system (e.g., make it easier to transition away from Cython) without bending the build system to do something it wasn't designed to do. Thoughts?
