We're using Meson for GLib itself, and we recommend people to use it
for their own projects, so it would be good to have our documentation
present examples on how to use Meson with our tools.
We should show how to properly use glib-genmarshal with Autotools, in
the hope that fewer people will be caught cargo-culting rules written
in the late '90s.

We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.
