Meson appears to have AIX support, so it's worth trying out.  If it's 
working, then it would also be worth considering a meson-only AIX port, 
which might be much simpler.  Conversely, if it doesn't work at all, it 
would need to be fixed.  I don't think we'd want to accept a new port 
that doesn't work with meson.
