[oe] [RFC meta-gnome][PATCH 00/16] Add gnome-shell support

[Brendan Kerrigan]

Yeah the recipes still using autotools were not utilizing meson at the time
the work was started. If some of the projects have migrated in the mean
time, it makes sense to do that work now. At this point I think it makes
sense to split this into two pull requests, the first set of patches will
uprev existing recipes (e.g. lcms, dconf to support native, etc), and a
follow on reflow of the additional recipes for supporting gnome-shell with
the comments addressed. I expect to be able to post a v2 by early next week
as I have other commitments that have taken priority. Thanks for all the
comments so far.
