IMO, it'd be entirely reasonable for Andres to say that *he* doesn't
want to fix the meson build scripts for niche platform X. Then
it'd be up to people who care about platform X to make that happen.
Given the current plan of supporting the Makefiles for some years
more, there wouldn't even be any great urgency in that.
