i actually expressly left the vkbd out of autotools as i was considering it too
new to fully support/build in the normal build yet. so i kept it in the new
"experimental" build only. :)

yeah. i explained that one... if git is a dep of meson itself... is largely
irrelevant. the dist tarball can be built as opposed to having to clone from
git to build. you must clone from git to do a dist though.
