5pkgs.elinks: meson build to fix gettext 0.23.1 break
nixpkgs's autotools elinks 0.19.1 fails against gettext 0.23.1
(autopoint refuses bare AM_GNU_GETTEXT, then autoheader fails on
HAVE_ALLOCA). Carry the meson-based build from upstream nixpkgs
PR #515347 locally until it lands; tools.mutt now consumes
self.packages.<system>.elinks instead of pkgs.elinks.
Inlines the libcss/libdom propagatedBuildInputs adjustments from the
same PR, scoped to this elinks build only — no global overlay.

# Replacement for nixpkgs's `elinks`, switched to the meson build from
2
+
# upstream nixpkgs PR #515347 (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/515347).
3
+
#
4
+
# nixpkgs's autotools build of elinks 0.19.1 is broken against gettext
5
+
# 0.23.1 (autopoint refuses `AM_GNU_GETTEXT` without an `external`
6
+
# argument; further, autoheader then fails on `HAVE_ALLOCA`). The PR
7
+
# sidesteps autotools entirely. We carry it locally until it lands.
8
+
#
9
+
# The PR also moves a few entries from `buildInputs` to
10
+
# `propagatedBuildInputs` on libcss and libdom so they're picked up
11
+
# transitively. Rather than overlaying those packages globally, we
12
+
# tweak them inline here (only this elinks build sees the change).
