I've written a Vala builder for SCons
http://git.xmms.se/?p=abraca.git;a=blob;f=scons-tools/vala.py;hb=HEAD

And also a gdkpixbufthingvalaintegration thing that eliminates the
need to keep track of where to install images:
http://git.xmms.se/?p=abraca.git;a=blob;f=scons-tools/gdkpixbufcsource.py;hb=HEAD

To use:
images, header, vapi = env.GdkPixBufCSource('abraca_images',
['abraca-192.png', ..., ..., ...])

images variable = .c-file that is linked into the program.

And then automagically in teh code.. in this case "abraca-192.png" becomes:

Gdk.Pixbuf tmp = new Gdk.Pixbuf.from_inline (-1, Resources.abraca_192, false);

Maybe something autohellicopters or wafflers could make use of :-)
