Ah. Thanks!

OK. No mixing problem with the curses.vala, but the gapi2xml.pl and
gapi_pp.pl -- they are required by gidlgen to function, right?

I might then split the -devel subpackage into two. The header files
are needed for rebuilding valac, so they can go in -devel, and the
*gen tools can go in -tools. Do they depend on the header files as
well?

Thanks,
