Another possible approach would be to have two build systems.
The traditional configure & make and the new meson & ninja.

Advantage is we don't have to worry about the transition and mixing &
make + meson at all.

Disadvantage is the duplication.  That wouldn't be forever though.
I'd expect we'll have one or maybe two releases with both build systems,
then delete the make & configure.

cheers,
  Gerd
