[Meson prototype]

The build code looks pretty approachable for someone with no prior exposure, and feels pretty nice when running it (I couldn't get a build working but I'll leave that aside for now).

That would also have to work for all the dependencies, which were displayed to me as:

ninja, gdbm, ca-certificates, openssl@1.1, readline, sqlite and python@3.9

Also, could utility makefile targets be made to work? I'm thinking in particular of update-unicode and reformat-dat-files, for example.
