To help evaluate meson, I've put together a list consisting of 6165 Github repos with (?m)^PGXS in the Makefile.

It's structured in the alphabetical order of each parent repo, with possible children repos underneath, using Markdown nested lists.

Perhaps such a list could be useful also for other purposes as well,
maybe to create some new type of automated tests.
