That might be a hint which circles back to Mark's comments related to
python37 vs -38. Trying to re-make devel/meson finds.

The fix for the -37 vs-38 conflict invokes portmaster, might it 
suffice to simply deinstall -37 and explicitly replace it with
-38 ? I'll give it a try.

Hmm, no dice. After deinstalling python37 and reinstalling python38 an
attempt to make devel/meson still stops with

root at nemesis:/usr/ports/devel/meson # make -DBATCH DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes install

How did python38 get installed without py38-setuptools?
