Using meson instead of autoconf

See pull request #39

Migrating to meson from autoconf. Please speak up if you have any issues.

My plan is to tag a new version once this is in place.

I'm actually thinking about upping the version number to 1.1

I am trying to port open-isns to RISC-V architecture. However, config.ac seems to be too old to identify RISC-V as target.

Migrating to meson may help.

Interesting.

Have you tried it yet? I did find internet references for cross-compiling for risc-v using meson: link here. But nothing about just building on risc-v.

AFAIK Meson should work fine on risc-v, e.g.Debian builds a wide variety of Meson-based software on their risc-v port.

It builds just by running autoreconf -fi on build host(riscv64gc) to update config.ac.

It now builds painlessly with meson on RISC-V, thanks.
