So it's pretty clear that if we go this way, it'll be the end of
the line for support for some very old OS versions. I can't,
however, argue with the idea that it's reasonable to require
POSIX 2001 support now. Based on these results, I doubt that
ninja will give us trouble on any platform that isn't old
enough to get its drivers license.
You can also look at it as:
If PostgreSQL choose a newer build system then it is up to the companies
owning the "non-supported" operating systems to add support for the
build system in question; not the PostgreSQL community.
+1 for POSIX.2001 and meson/ninja.
