Unable to build with Meson - use of `PRIVATE`/`PUBLIC` in `set()` about glbinding HOT 1 CLOSED

After looking a bit more into this issue I noticed how DEFAULT_COMPILE_OPTIONS is simply treated as a string array that gets later passed into target_compile_options(), that indeed supports PRIVATE and PUBLIC. The issue here seems to be that Meson has some issues parsing compile options passed to target_compile_options() as a semicolon-separated list, and instead of seeing PRIVATE and PUBLIC as keywords it sees it as raw compile options.

One possible solution would be to split DEFAULT_COMPILE_OPTIONS into two variables, DEFAULT_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PRIVATE and _PUBLIC, or raising the minimum required CMake version to 3.1 so that defining PUBLIC flags in DEFAULT_COMPILE_OPTIONS will be no longer needed. (On this matter, CMake 3.5 or better is supported on all the maintained Linux distributions, and would be a safe version to require)
