FWIW, if that proves to be simple, perhaps there is a point in doing
it. However, we also need to take into account that this would be
unstressed by the buildfarm.

And there is also an extra factor to think about here: meson. The
tool only supports VPATH-like builds, which is what Frank is doing,
and a quick test shows me that it is possible to specify a link to the
source folder in the meson command (last argument of the meson
command), which is also something Frank does here.
