+## structured_sources()
+
+A new function, `structured_sources()` has been added. This function allows
+languages like Rust which depend on the filesystem layout at compile time to mix
+generated and static sources.
+
+```meson
+executable(
+  'main',
+  structured_sources(
+    'main.rs,
+    {'mod' : generated_mod_rs},
+  )
+)
+```
+
+Meson will then at build time copy the files into the build directory (if
+necessary), so that the desired file structure is laid out, and compile that. In
+this case:
+
+```
+root/
+  main.rs
+  mod/
+    mod.rs
+```
