I was holding off submitting a patch until the BF supported meson - which only
happened recently. I was actually planning to start a thread about the topic
in the next few days.

As far as I can tell, the meson build has more than feature parity with the
"homegrown" build - the only two dependencies I haven't been able to test is
building with are ossp-uuid (doesn't build) and kerberos (quite complicated,
last release for windows is ages ago)
