Re: [Vala] Conditional vapis

[pancake <pancake youterm com>]

I think the solution is to write a windows-posix.vapi implementing the 
POSIX stuff that
is supported on w32 and then a windows.vapi for the w32-specific stuff.

We'll send those vapis when tested.

This way at compile time you just have to specify a different --pkg, but 
both implementing
the same Posix namespace. So the final app will need no modification.

Sorry for the noise :)
