A third path might be to disentangle the NLS makefiles from
Makefile.global, so that you don't need Autoconf in order to make use
of their targets. Then the Meson targets could just defer to that
implementation.
(sslfiles.mk took a similar approach, and I've been happy with it so
far. The init-po use case seems somewhat close, at least, since a
developer doesn't need to run it very often. Not sure about
update-po.)
