E.g. 'somebuilddir_debug', +'somebuilddir_release', etc. as well as a '_vs'-suffixed directory that contains the +generated multi-buildtype solution. Building/cleaning/rebuilding in the solution +now launches the meson build (compile) of the corresponding buildtype-suffixed build +directory, instead of using Visual Studio's native engine.
