It would have been a waste to not see this change happening, so I have
looked a bit more in depth at it. You are right that we should remove
the reference to --with-lz4, but it seems to me that this should apply
to all the references of the switch we have in the docs. The change
in meson.build was not necessary. Another thing not yet included was
the mandatory autoreconf. With all that done, applied.

Now, let's see how much this breaks the buildfarm.. Because things
will break. I'll send a poke to the buildfarm mailing list.
