Hi,

thanks for all the feedback, I addressed all those concerns.

I din't figured how to trigger the Meson to install everything properly. As
far as I could tell, there isn't a proper install target?

Therefore, as this port is so simple, just mirrored what the Makefile is
doing in a do-install: target.

With that, no patches needed.

updated version attached.

cheers,
Sebastian
