backward-compatible way would be to continue use makefiles for pgxs,
but do the necessary replacement of Makefile.global.in via meson (and
not use that for postgres' own build). But that doesn't really
provide a nicer path for building postgres extensions on windows, so
it'd definitely not be a long-term path.
To help evaluate meson, I've put together a list consisting of 6165 Github repos with (?m)^PGXS in the Makefile.
It's structured in the alphabetical order of each parent repo, with possible children repos underneath, using Markdown nested lists.
Perhaps such a list could be useful also for other purposes as well,
maybe to create some new type of automated tests.
