The E22 release is out now, so it's time to return to this issue. Currently
we have two build systems, and maintaining/updating both of them is not
feasible. At present, there is already significant divergence and various
features are not present in the autotools build (and never will be). The
decision is not whether to remove autotools or when to remove autotools,
it's what do we do about old distros.

Based on previous discussions, it seems that there are still some users
whose distros do not yet ship a modern enough version of meson. The best
option, which is the option other projects which switch to meson have been
using, is to simply ship a tarball of a newer meson release along with our
code. The other option is to provide a link in the README. I don't have any
other ideas.

I'll be removing autotools sometime next week, let's try to get some
discussion going about the best action to take going forward with this.
