Right now configure contains a couple hacks to preserve some of the semantics of the pre-meson build system:
1) emulation of ./configure by creating a build directory and a forwarding GNUmakefile (requested by Kevin)
2) creation of symlinks such as x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 and arm-linux-user/qemu-arm (requested by Peter)
Neither of these are a lot of code, but if people aren't relying on them we might as well delete them. Do they have any users still?
