There are still some things meson can't do which we need the configure script for. The meson upstream are slowly working through our feature requests 😉

    Really? I supposed that I'm too conservative for still using cmake. But seems there's a reason for that. ☺

    Well, seriously, I don't like meson because it does some things another way than more traditional tools for no reason. Sometimes this is painful, especially when cross compiling. Seems that it was originally designed without cross compilation in mind unlike cmake.
