-In case meson doesn't find libnvme header files (via pkg-config) it 
-will fallback using subprojects.  meson checks out libnvme in 
-subprojects directory as git tree once to the commit level specified 
-in the libnvme.wrap file revision parm.  After this initial checkout,
-the libnvme code level will not change unless explicitly told.  That 
-means if the current branch is updated via git, the subprojects/libnvme
-branch will not updated accordingly.  To update it, either use the 
-normal git operations or the command: 
-
-	$ meson subprojects update
