Don't know if this is still an issue, but last time I came across
AM_PROG_VALAC, the problem with it was that you couldn't specify a
minimum version and have configure continue if there's an older valac
present, because the macro contained an AC_MSG_ERROR. It would be nice
if there was a way way for it not to error out and instead allow the
usual if-found/if-not-found parameters in addition to the minimum
version.
