Yes, that was my intention.  Windows actually doesn't have them.  The
autoconf/MinGW test result was telling the truth.  Somehow I had to
make the three build systems agree on this.  Either by strong-arming
all three of them to emit a hard-coded claim that it does, or by
removing the test that produces a different answer in different build
systems.  I will happily do it the other way if you insist, which
would involve restoring the meson.build and Solultion.pm kludges you
quoted, but I'd also have to add a compatible kludge to configure.ac.
It doesn't seem like an improvement to me but I don't feel strongly
about it.  In the end, Solution.pm and configure.ac will be vaporised
by lasers, so we'll be left with 0 or 1 special cases.  I don't care
much, but I like 0, it's nice and round.
