* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
Use glib to get a list of system "share" directories, then go through that
list, appending 'sounds/sf2/' to each directory to get a soundfont directory,
and looking for .sf2 files there.
This way fluiddec is able to load sf2 files on W32, because otherwise the
path '/usr/share/sounds/sf2' makes no sense there.
Fixes#724013
