A project that uses hidapi could uses Meson's cmake module to build hidapi: https://mesonbuild.com/CMake-module.html#cmake-subprojects. But that has many limitations and bugs.

With https://github.com/mesonbuild/vscode-meson/pull/195 multi-root works by asking the user to select one Meson project if more than one is detected. In that case we have only one builddir at a time....
