PROBLEM: uv does not support mesonpy for editable installations (astral-sh/uv#10214) That way, we can get rid of our custom pkg-config integration code, which feels a lot cleaner. As a side-effect, the generated source distribution is now simply a checkout of the Git tree. This means it no longer includes the Cython-generated C files and the HTML documentation. I think this is acceptable nowadays, as the release tarballs are probably mainly consumed by package managers pulling them from PyPi, and most users will be working from a Git clone and reading the documentation online.
