It has been mentioned in several places at various times by
Matthieu Herrb, Mark Kettenis and myself.

The OpenBSD src and xenocara trees need to be self-contained. For
autotools we can regenerate files after import and not have a build time
dependency on gnu tools or ports.
Even if there was a C or perl implementation of meson under a suitable
license (not apache 2.0) it would still have to be integrated into a
make based build.
