Good idea. I was wondering for a moment whether we should put the version
into some file instead, and reference that from meson.build - but the
convenient way to do that is only in 0.56, which we currently don't want to
require... We could work around it, but it doesn't seem necessary for now.

Yea, that looks nicer.
