It seems that Microsoft documentation [1] uses "target" and "host" terms
for what Meson documentation [2] calls "host" and "build" respectively.
This deserves a notice to avoid confusion.

Why manually specifying architectures is recommended?
If it is mandatory, please use imperative so that no one skips this step.
However, Meson has cross-compilation features, don't they work
(cross-compilation from Windows has never been considered yet)?
