Re: [PATCH 07/11] meson: deduplicate the list of required programs

> When setting up Meson we detect a couple of executables that we rely on
> in order to build Git and prepend their respective directories to PATH.
> This is done so that Windows can locate these tools at build time in
> case they aren't included in the default PATH, as we know to pick up
> those required build tools from the Git for Windows path explicitly.

> The list of executables we check against is somewhat excessive though,
> as many of the tools are all part of coreutils. Let's deduplicate them
> so that we only check for one binary that is part of it, namely cat(1).
