That's right, that should be possible. You can make a 'subproject()'
call in your superproject meson.build to always force use of it as a
subproject so it never tries the system dependency.

You also don't necessarily need a devenv then - on Linux at least any
binaries in the build directory built as part of the meson build should
be using rpath as far as I know, so should pick up the libcairo from
the in-build-tree subproject build then.

Cheers
 Tim
