This discussion thread points to a small usability fail in valac.

It would be nice if, whenever the user specifies --pkg BLAH
and BLAH is not installed, valac simply said "BLAH not installed".

I actually filed a bug about precisely this problem in mid august:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591991

It doesn't sound that hard to write a patch for valac to do this,
and it would obviously be quite useful.
