It would be good to fix it. IMO (at least on my Mint machine) meson used the 
right place, and autotools used the wrong one.  Geany was the only thing in the 
location autotools chose, but meson chose the same place as all the other stuff 
installed by the distro.  But don't like our chances of "fixing" autotools 
except by deletion :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 

But my problem was simpler than that, I just didn't know that an old system 
install of Geany was earlier in PATH, so was running the wrong version, so old 
behaviour happened.

It wasn't my problem as I used `-c /tmp/config` so it was clean, but yes, not 
worth changing such files, if a user has edited it better to not touch it.
