Subject: [PATCH v1] meson: Differentiate top-level and custom targets
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

We need to create top-level targets to run targets with the ninja
command like `ninja <target_name>`.

Some targets (man, html, ...) have the same target name on both
top-level and custom target. This creates a confusion for the meson
build:

$ meson compile -C build html

```
ERROR: Can't invoke target `html`: ambiguous name. Add target type
and/or path:
- ./doc/src/sgml/html:custom
- ./doc/src/sgml/html:alias
```

Solve that problem by adding '-custom' suffix to these problematic
targets' custom target names. Top-level targets can be called with both
meson and ninja now:

$ meson compile -C build html
$ ninja -C build html
