-FIXME
-
-This script is used only to call gdbus-codegen and simulate the
-generation of the source code and header as different targets.
-
-Both are generated implicitly, so meson is not able to know how
-many files are generated, so it does generate only one opaque
-target that represents the two files.
-
-originally from:
-https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/5924d72931a030b24554116a48140a661a99652b
