"ninja html" does in fact work. What's not working is "meson compile
html". And it looks like the reason I used that in the buildfarm code is
that ninja doesn't know about other targets like "postgres-US.pdf". Up
to now "meson compile postgres-US.pdf html" has worked.

FWIW, the buildfarm code doesn't use ninja explicitly anywhere else.
