No problem :) Anyways, you promptly corrected it all even before I
read the first e-mail :)

Great, this will help me a lot.

Nice! I'll check out scratchpad's trunk to see if they got anything
else I might need... they being a text editor also and all...

Anyways, I'm not sure yet if I'll use Vala to its full extent or use
it as a "GOB on Steroids" to map easily from my UML models to C code
and then work my way from C all the way, since I'll need to interface
with a lot of other libraries and creating vala mappings for them all
would probably slow my project.

One thing I have to thank the Vala developers for: I love the way the
generated files look so readable, at least the generated files from
the Samples, which is all I tested until now.

Great work, guys.

Alexandre Moreira.
