Neither of these are wired up in Meson right now. There aren't really
any users, they don't expose a lot of functionality, and both of these
libraries aren't actively developed right now. So I didn't yet have any
motivation to wire them up just yet.
I also think we should reevaluate these once we officially support Rust
in core Git. It feels way more reasonable to design our new core Rust
code in a way that it can be pulled in as a crate right from the start.
Maybe it's just a matter of moving those libraries out of "contrib/" and
into our core Rust code?
