In the Windows hard way documentation, I have added the download, look https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWindows

Okay, I wanted to ask why it's not done this way, because that's actually the most practical way to do it, so that's that.
I see in external is meson 1.8.0, which should actually be removed from LODE.

Someone like Cloph might be the best person to answer this, but
apparently a native Windows version of pkgconf is needed in this case.

I assume this is because we now ship Meson as an external, see
external/meson
