Still that's not mandatory, is it? The compile and test commands of
meson work as well if you are located at the root of the build

Anyway, this works as well and I don't have any arguments against
that. So I have used your flow, and applied the patch. I have
actually switched my own scripts to rely more on -C, removing direct
calls to ninja ;p

Thanks for the feedback.
