 I think that unfortunately this is because it depends on <filesystem>
 and/or <experimental/filesystem>:
 
 In netbsd-9, e.g.:
 
  http://victory.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2021Q4/amd64-9.0/20220103.0714/webkit-gtk-2.34.3nb1/configure.log
 
 It seems that we see:
 
  -- Performing Test STD_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE
  -- Performing Test STD_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE - Failed
  -- Performing Test STD_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE
  -- Performing Test STD_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE - Failed
 
 ...while on -current-ish (9.99.90):
 
  -- Performing Test STD_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE
  -- Performing Test STD_FILESYSTEM_IS_AVAILABLE - Success
 
 ...and I think that's probably why it fails in netbsd-9.
 
 I have no idea how we can possibly address that thogh and I have not
 investigated further.
