No, this is wrong.  We need to use the results of the configure test 
uniformly until we can move it to meson.build.

Ask yourself if you'd like to have this option in a standalone project, 
the answer most likely is no...  Can you use override_dependency from 
the toplevel meson.build instead?  It's usually meant for 
sub->superproject, but we can use it in this case as well I think.

I took the option from a meson test case:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/test%20cases/frameworks/15%20llvm/meson.build

Adding:
 meson.override_dependency('glib-2.0', dependency('glib-2.0', static:
enable_static))

just before the "vhost_user = not_found..." works. Is that what you had in
mind?

Why not "meson.override_dependency('glib-2.0', glib)", either there before
the vhost_user assignmeny or in meson.build where glib is assigned to?
