Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* 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.
Add (uninstalled) tool to create licenses-table.dat from liblicense's
RDF files. It's not very pretty and makes loats of assumptions about
the input, but should work. If things change, we can fix it then.

So people can check what version of the gst-plugins-base libs they're
building against or linked against.

Add some utility functions for language tags and ISO-639
codes. These are useful for both GUIs and elements. The
iso-codes package is used for language name translations
if available.
