Is it possible to use a different backend in poetry? E.g. meson?

Hi,

I have a few questions related to using a different backend (i.e. meson) for building poetry managed Python packages:

1. I'm wondering if it is possible to use meson as a backend for building projects managed by poetry? Meson would help build Cython/C++ files, which poetry cannot handle. If so, where is the documentation stating this? I cannot find it.

2. Also, is there a way of specifying build dependencies similar to how poetry defines dependencies for the package? E.g. I want to define a specific branch's git repo as a build dependency.
