+## External projects
+
+A new experimental module `unstable_external_project` has been added to build
+code using other build systems than Meson. Currently only supporting projects
+with a configure script that generates Makefiles.
+
+```meson
+project('My Autotools Project', 'c',
+ meson_version : '>=0.56.0',
+)
+
+mod = import('unstable_external_project')
+
+p = mod.add_project('configure',
+ configure_options : ['--prefix=@PREFIX@',
+ '--libdir=@LIBDIR@',
+ '--incdir=@INCLUDEDIR@',
+ '--enable-foo',
+ ],
+)
+
+mylib_dep = p.dependency('mylib')
+```
