Ok, I think this can be done quite easily.

I think we need rather to identify if the project uses C (to add C 
header files) and if it uses vala (to add vala header files). In both 
cases, it seems that the only solution is to check for source file 
extension which is not 100% reliable but I think it's enough for such 
nice to have feature.

Ok, I prefer to work on fixing more general (but less visible) issues 
when updating autotools projects so I don't know if this will be fixed 
for the next release. But if you think it's really important, I think it 
could still be done.
