Yeah... in the same vein, I originally thought that I'd need to
quickly add VPATH support to sslfiles.mk, but it seems like it just
hasn't been a problem in practice and now I'm glad I didn't spend much
time on it.

I'm happy to contribute cycles to a Meson port when you're ready for
it. From a skim it seems like maybe in-source generation isn't a focus
for Meson [1]. They might encourage us to write custom Python for it
anyway?
