pango/vairo and atk is back compiling again...

meson/ninja toolchain are not userfriendly at all. I miss the makefile and configure scripts. they where easy to understand, simple to use and they did work. Why do i have to edit alot of files just to add or remove one parameter for the compiler/linker?
