well, copy/paste is how I autotool..  I thought that was how everyone did it ;-)

obviously build-time of kmscube isn't really a big deal, but I figured
it made a nice simple meson example, and it was a good excuse for me
to get my feet wet.

I'm undecided about whether or not to keep the autotools build.  I
know there is some OE recipe floating around to build kmscube (since
it really is the killer-app of the embedded world :-P), but otherwise
probably aren't many/any distro's packaging it
