Our configure script is slow and hard to maintain. We'd like to convert it to a Python script.

pyconfigure
The content of the pastebin is largely outdated. The corresponding (and more up-to-date) info is now in bug 1247836.

This proposal rised 4 years ago, I wonder if would make sense to use meson (python3 based build system) instead own solution.
In terms of performance is mostly superior to other systems, readability is very good and is well known in community [1].
Sorry for kinda break-in into meta-bug, but since it closely related, I thought it would make sense to mention it and could allow more people which aren't focused on Firefox development to contribute with patches and maybe easier to maintain.
