Yup. I was just trying to establish what the lower bound was for
ninja, since they (ahem) don't document it.

The meson docs say it needs Python >= 3.6, which I think is going
to be an issue, but I've not researched it yet. What I was mainly
curious about today was whether anything using ninja as the backend
could meet our portability goals. My mind's more or less at ease
on that, but I am afraid that requiring 3.6 is going to be a problem
on LTS distributions. That's a topic for another thread though.
