+With meson 0.52 the build fails due to duplicate symbols. There is a fix
+to meson but the dconf build also needs tweaking.

+https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dconf/issues/59
+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/5936

+Despite the comments there about this being incorrect, libdconf is unchanged
+between 0.51 and 0.52 and this patch.
