Re: [Vala] M4 Macros for vala+valadoc when automake integration is unavailable

[Ali Sabil <ali sabil gmail com>]

Hi,

That looks great. But you probably want to check how I autotooled
libcore[1]. The implementation I have is based on the vala-support[2]
script by Mathias Hasselmann, and doesn't have the limitation you
have.

[1] bzr branch lp:libcore
[2] http://taschenorakel.de/mathias/2007/08/27/automake-support-vala/
