> I did a lot of the meson conversion.

Thank you!

Having just converted my release upgrade workflow to use meson, I'm surprised at how easy it is to build, test, and install with it. And I started out with a sour "don't fix it if it ain't broke" attitude.

Concerned about eventual deprecation of the auto-tools method, I wanted an early glimpse at how difficult the transition would be. Had no trouble -- jumped on meson.
