Re: [RFC PATCH v4 00/19] Modernize the build system

If this is a requirement I can adapt though. While Meson does not
support hardlinks natively, we can of of course manually wire up them
if required.

Nah, there must be bigger fish to fry in the new build system
integration, and I have a feeling that by the time we are done, we
may have lost the largest need for hardlinks.

I have a feeling that in _some_ future, we may not be installing
"git-add" and friends for the built-in commands anywhere on disk,
which is historically the primary thing we use hardlinks for to
conserve both disk space and inodes.

Thanks.
