Seems that Python script attempts to pull down a .dat file from Github.
Luckily, that script can accept a local file as an argument to provide
the .dat. So- pull that file down via DIST_TUPLE, & patch meson to tell
the python script to use the local one. I pinned the DIST_TUPLE for
the .dat to the latest commit. If this port gets committed, I plan on
updating the commit for the DIST_TUPLE .dat to the latest when I update
the port. That seem reasonable?

I also removed the @comments of the .la files.

Attached is a tarball with the above changes.

Thoughts?

It is attached.

Thanks,
