I'm not familiar with shapefil, but a quick look tells me DBFHandle is
typedef for DBFInfo*. I would maybe consider writing something manual
like bellow and see how far you get with that.

[CCode (cprefix = "", lower_case_cprefix = "", cheader_filename =
"shapefil.h")]
namespace ShapeFil {
	[Compact]
	public class DBFInfo {
		[CCode (cname = "DBFAddField")]
	        public int AddField (string pszFieldName, ShapeFil.DBFFieldType
eType, int nWidth, int nDecimals);

	}
}

Namespaces in vala are commonly used to prefix the generated C structs
and functions, so when there is no common prefix make sure to clear it
in the cprefix attributes.
Also take a look at some of the other manual written vapi files in the
repository, they have proven to be useful source of information for me.
