Seems like we should have a different pg_config flag for meson options than
for configure, and perhaps separately an option to show the buildsystem?

Maybe --buildsystem -> autoconf|meson, --configure -> existing CONFIGURE_ARGS
for autoconf, empty otherwise, --meson-options -> meson options?

Greetings,
