# Description of important meson targets, used for the 'help' target and
# installation.sgml (via generate-targets-meson.pl). Right now the parsers are
# extremely simple. Both parsers ignore comments. The help target prints
# everything else. For xml everything without a leading newline is a group,
# remaining lines are target separated by whitespace from their description
#
