But ... what "re-configuration" is needed when adding a new test file?

This proposed fix adds more manual maintenance effort, and I really
doubt that it will do much to solve the ostensible problem that
people forget to update the meson.build files.  We should be striving
to make the meson system as easy to use as autoconf/make, not trying
to attain parity by making the latter experience worse.
