Seems like an awful lot of effort to avoid having multiple copies
of the file list. I think we should just do what I sketched earlier,
ie put the master list into gen_node_support.pl and have it cross-check
that against its command line. If the meson system can avoid having
its own copy of the list, great; but I don't feel like we have to make
that happen for the makefiles or Solution.pm.
