You should probably add this to the patch proposals that want to remove
autotools then. 

I'm certainly not going to push this patch with your NAK, but I'd like
to ask you to reconsider: All this patch does is require to add  --
enable-autotools to the configure call once - a little hickup in the
workflow of those who do not yet use exclusively meson, but it gets the
message out to the others that things are going to change.

Best, 
Gert
