 Updating `glibmm` is on my near-term work list, but haven't gotten too far
 into it. So if you're feeling up to it, please feel free!

 One thing I did notice though, is a fun change in behavior with the later
 versions: Rather than using a fixed PkgConfig filename - it had remained
 `glibmm-2.4.pc` for a long while - now the file is generated with the
 current lib version. (i.e., `glibmm-2.68.pc`, for version 2.68.x.) Nor
 does there appear (?) to be a formal Meson build option to override that
 behavior, unless it's done via a core Meson option.

 This is a royal PITA, as it complicates migrating to a path dep for
 dependents. (I was going to switch all of those over, so that we can use
 `glibmm-devel` as a drop-in replacement.)

 I suppose we can potentially rename the generated `.pc` file back to a
 more general name? Assuming that doing so: 1) Doesn't violate standard
 PkgConfig practice; and 2) Doesn't break dependent projects.

 Sigh...
