Support for Meson Builds

[distler]

I notice that a number of packages are held back at ancient versions because the upstream switched to meson as a build system.

I ran into this problem when libharfbuzz failed to compile for me (Macos 14.7). It seemed hopeless to try to fix version 2.6.8. So I decided to grab the latest version (10.0.1) and see if I could modify libharfbuzz0-shlibs.info to build using meson.

It involve commenting out a whole bunch of stuff (e.g., no patching required!). The CompileScript (without the docs, because building the docs gave me an error) was

meson build -Ddocs=disabled -Ddoc_tests=false -Dgraphite2=enabled -Dprefix=/opt/sw
meson compile -C build

and the InstallScript was

meson install -C build --no-rebuild --destdir=%d

Obviously, my attempt was rather hacky, but it seems that adding meson support is not so difficult (and would solve a lot of problems with other packages).
