In another part of this thread, I've set PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=36 so that
I only have to install two versions of python instead of three.

In the process of rolling back some packages, I ran into the problem that
py36-meson conflicted with the already-installed py37-meson.  Since I
expect to be nuking python37 and py37-* packages after the rollback, I
just pkg_deleted py37-meson and was done with it.  It might be something
to investigate, however.

The issue of pkg_chk being confused by py27-* packages and complaining
that their py3?-* counterparts are missing seems exacerbated by setting
my own PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT.
