OK, I have now got a clean run using meson 1.0.1 / MSVC. Not sure what
made the difference. One change I did make was to stop using "--backend
vs" and thus use the ninja backend even for MSVC. That proved necessary
to run the new install-test-files target which failed miserably with
"--backend vs". Not sure if we have it documented, but if not it should
be that you need to use the ninja backend on all platforms.

At this stage I think I'm prepared to turn this loose on a couple of my
buildfarm animals, and if nothing goes awry for the remainder of the
month merge the dev/meson branch and push a new release.

There is still probably a little polishing to do, especially w.r.t. log
file artefacts.

cheers
