Autotools is great for what it is designed for, but that epoch is long ago, and shipping random files/scripts that are not actually checked into the build system is ripe for problems.
Convert the build over to use meson instead. Bonus is that the build logic is simpler (if not still messy in places), and that the build itself is way faster.
