In which developers learn the magic of Autotools, by switching to
Meson..

https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/issues/72

TL;DR: c2man is not actually required for the dist tarballs, yet the
build system tests for it.  I've been wondering whether to take the fix,
but then we'd need to 'autoreconf' it:

https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/commit/095d88503194e81059ab81d04b849d9245899dfa

WDYT?  Are there easier workarounds?

Also note that Fribidi gained 2149 new dependents on 'core-updates', so
we'll have to be careful about updating it once the branch starts.
