tap-driver.sh is added to the build tree by autoreconf, and contains
upstream modifications as such. This results in dirty working trees.
It was originally added in commit 403c175dbc
which made the testsuite use automake, but as far as I can tell, never
served any purpose.

This doesn't do quite as good of a job of "hiding away" the real script
as we did with autotools, but it satisfies the need for being able to
run scripts which depend on libmakepkg with the local copy within the
repo. We do, however, improve upon the autotools script by ensuring that
the bash path used in configuring pacman is the interpreter used to run
the underlying script.
Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work
out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give
up on autotools.
Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my
machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under
half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation.
Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build:
meson build
Then, compile the project:
ninja -C build
There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and
autotools. specifically:
1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual
update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make
this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all
update-po targets and runs them.
2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a
suitable tarball for distribution.
We used to carry a patched version of ltmain in our repos to fix libtools
issues with -Wl,-as-needed. Now that ltmain is "generated" by autoreconf,
we manually patch it afterwards.

The latest automake release causes complaints about an out of date
'missing' file during configure. Sync with upstream.
