    Drop Autotools from the project
    
    We only use Meson, so we can drop a lot of unnecessary files.

+# GDK-Pixbuf - An image loading library
+
+GDK-Pixbuf loads, manipulates, and saves image data from files, memory areas,
+and streams.
+
+GDK-Pixbuf supports multiple file and image formats, and can be extended to
+support third party loaders.
+
+Once an image is loaded, GDK-Pixbuf exposes it as a memory area in order to
+perform pixel-based operations.
+
+## Building GDK-Pixbuf
+
+Once you cloned the Git repository, using:
+
+```sh
+$ git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdk-pixbuf
+```
+
+You can build GDK-Pixbuf using [Meson][meson-web] and [Ninja][ninja-web]:
+
+```sh
+$ meson _build .
+$ ninja -C _build
+```
+
+You can run the test suite using `mesontest`:
+
+```sh
+$ mesontest -C _build
+```
+
+And, finally, you can install GDK-Pixbuf using Ninja:
+
+```
+$ sudo ninja -C _build install
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+GDK-Pixbuf depends on [GLib][glib-git] for its basic types. Additionally,
+there are dependencies for image loading:
+
+  - libpng
+  - libtiff
+  - libjpeg
+  - libjasper
+
+## Licensing
+
+GDK-Pixbuf is released under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
+License, version 2 or, at your option, later versions. See the `COPYING`
+file in the project's root directory for further information.
