I agree. We have lots of webkitgtk patches, including some fixes (some
of which haven't been looked at by Adrian I believe).

I also saw this patch. My initial reaction is that I would have
preferred a staged approach, where we first bump to a version that
supports autotools and meson in one patch, then switch from autotools
to meson in one patch (without bumping), then bump again to whatever
latest version. This would have made review slightly easier. However, I
agree this is quite a bit of additional work, on top of very good work
you've already done, so I think we should just bite the bullet and look
at what you did, even if it's in a single patch.
