I'm sorry, I have been quite busy lately.
For now, I've fixed the GIRs generation, it remains only to change
bindings/vala/*/Makefile.am to call vapigen with the right arguments.
I removed gtk+ as dependecy of champlain, too.

I'd like to integrate the vapi generation in makefiles because the
memphis support is not splitted into a different vapi file.
If memphis support is enabled, it simply include the memphis package and
export the champlain-memphis package as well as the champlain one.

Actually I have only one issue: when I try to generate the champlain-gtk
vapi, it looks for champlain instead of Champlain.
I'll try to find a solution soon.

I try to finish all the stuff this week.
If you want, I can send you the vapi I'm actually using in the
meanwhile.
