I was just trying to see what updates the qemu.nsi file needed for

That's one of the problems which I mentioned in my other mail.
There should be a subdirectory share/ for Windows, too. The current
special case with a flat file structure for Windows does not work and is
one of the reasons why I still did not finish a working installer for 5.2.0.
I forgot to mention that some of the problems with the Meson build also
occur on macOS with Homebrew: they always happen when a software package
requires special compiler flags to find its include files or libraries,
but the Meson build does not use the result from pkg-config for them.
