Comment (by kencu):
The problem with adding a binaries section is not cmake and pkg-config,
it's the 100 other restricted binaries we don't know about, like curl-
config, and llvm-config, and blah blah blah blah blah.
And - to make it worse -- things like llvm-config are not static, and they
are set on-the-fly by the Portfile as the port needs.
So that path -- a static set of binaries listed in the cross file -- is
not really viable, beyond pkg-config and cmake.
SO -- we either write full cross file with all the binaries spec'd (which
is a huge PITA) -- or we patch out that meson change, and revert back to
it finding the default binaries on the PATH -- which works perfectly well
for every application we need it to work for in macports, I think.
