Thanks for your work on this!

I believe that you can make your latest version of meson a "hidden"
package.  You could name it something like "meson-latest", that way only
the newer version of sway would use it.  And it wouldn't require a
rebuild of the world.  Perhaps the same is true for wayland.

You can look for an example in the gcc.scm file.  They have gcc-4.7 as a
hidden package.  Users cannot install that package, instead they install
gcc-toolchain.

Thanks,

Joshua
