- Setting an exec_dir variable is an error. As meson docs says, if
relative, it is installed relatively to prefix anyway: "If this is a
relative path, it is assumed to be relative to the prefix."
On the other hand, it would make problems if someone tried to set an
absolute bindir.
Moreover it is a lot clearer now. When we want to install in the
binary directory unconditionally, then get_option('bindir') is the
meson way, hence the way to go.
- On the other hand, the `gimp-debug-tool` is installed either in bindir
for Windows or macOS and libexecdir for all other platforms, at least
that's how it's set in the autotools build. So let's keep both builds
consistent.
- Make a hopefully clearer description for enable-default-bin option.
Let's clarify this is just about creating unversionning links pointing
to versionned files.
- Adding an item in the "Optional Features" part of the summary listing
during meson configure, for better discovery.
For the ".exe" extension on Windows, I wished we had an $(EXEEXT)
equivalent on meson rather than trying to set it ourselves (are there
other platforms where we must set a different extension?). But I could
not find any.
