Hello,
We have seven "libraries" whose versions meson does not show: bonjour, 
bsd_auth, docs, docs_pdf, nls, pam, plperl. And only plperl has a known 
version.
bonjour, bsd_auth produces by declare_dependency() function, and I don't 
know where to find their versions.
docs, docs_pdf are the complex of libraries: xmllint_bin, xsltproc_bin 
and fop. Which version do we need?
nls can be formed in two ways: by declare_dependency() or by 
cc.find_library(). It is not clear to me where to get a version.
pam also can be produced by dependency() or cc.find_library().
