Can you give more info about this library ? The patch isn't
linking to any new library so it was not immediately obvious
that this patch even introduced a dependancy on an external
library. Preferrably the library would be using 'pkg-config'
so we can check for it in a single line of meson.build code
instead of writing 100's of lines of configure compile tests.

Generally if the library is available in Linux dijstros, then
we'll want the CI to test that too, which will mean updating
the dockerfiles.

With regards,
Daniel
