Hard coding the default prefix causes issues on windows. meson's docs says "prefix defaults to C:/ on Windows, and /usr/local otherwise. You should always override this value.". There is no value, only downside on Windows, to setting the value here. If the user want a different value it should be overridden via the command line.

Hard coding the default prefix causes issues on windows. meson's docs says "prefix defaults to C:/ on Windows, and /usr/local otherwise. You should always override this value.", see https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html. There is no value, only downside on Windows, to setting the value here. If the user want a different value it should be overridden via the command line. During development we should not have to set the prefix, it should just default to a sane value.
Windows with default prefix removed
