(There are lots of old copyright dates if you just do a "grep -ir copyright *" in the source directory. Maybe I'll put together a proposed patch to update them.) Thanks for testing the meson build! I'm sorry you got burned by the 'yes'/'true' thing--I did too! The current version is really a work-in-progress. I kept everything very close to the autotools version, so that I could easily compare the meson files with the autotools versions. So I kept yes|no|path for the options that allow specifying a path. If you look at meson_options.txt, you'll see that some options are boolean, with true|false values, and some are strings, with yes|no|path values. I should change those to true|false|path form, to avoid the issues that you and I faced! The meson options should probably also be renamed. I understand that the with- and enable- prefixes of the autotools options are disparaged; options should be structured so that the '-Doption=value' configure syntax is as user-friendly as possible. So, more changes are to be expected--thanks again for testing, and please continue to comment on the experience!
