+## New end_messages method
+
+The new `end_messages` function allows you to create status messages
+that will be printed at the end of the Meson run rather than
+immediately. For example the following setup:
+
+```meson
+end_message('A short name:', 'value #1')
+end_message('A bit longer name:', 'value #2')
+```
+
+Will cause the following text to be printed as the last thing just
+before Meson exits.
+
+```
+Main project
+
+A short name:       value #1
+A bit longer name:  value #2
+```
