If meson is unable to build universal the "normal" all-at-once way, and
requires separate builds for each arch and combining using "lipo" as the
"muniversal" portgroup does, then it seems preposterous to ask the maintainer
of each meson-using port to do that manually. Just make the meson portgroup do
it automatically.
We've already talked about this here:
