i think then autogen.sh should do what rage does and do a meson build setup and
fix appropriate INSTALL files etc. for how to build...

but we also should get some decent testing across multiple OS's like freebsd,
openbsd (i know netstar maintains these as running systems ! :)). to ensure at
least on a lot of targets it builds right. package maintainers too would be
really fantastic if they could switch and test there too in package build env's
