Commit 450aafcba559f95c94c5f195d83b5fe4fdc3748a has changed the way that the
textproc/tinyxml2 package is being built from CMake to Meson.
This change results in the absence of CMake generated files which are used by
consumers to include tinyxml2 via CMake's find_package(). The absence of these
files is also evident by the change to pkg-plist of textproc/tinyxml2.

The same commit is modifying some consumers to replace CMake's find_package()
with manually "hacking" LDFLAGS which is not the proper way of doing things.
find_package() is doing a lot more than just setting an LDFLAG.

Currently, devel/gpds is broken due to this commit.

This commit should be reverted in my opinion.
