Although it is possible to generate distributable files on meson since version 0.41 by using the `ninja dist` command, autotools does different things that end up creating a different distributable file. meson build files have been added to autotools build files as distributable files, so the whole meson port would also be distributed. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2018-January/msg00047.html
