[Vala] Updating rest bindings to 0.7

[Michel Alexandre Salim <salimma fedoraproject org>]

Dear Vala developers,

Vala 0.13.1's rest bindings are still at version 0.6:

$ rpm -ql vala | grep rest
/usr/share/vala-0.14/vapi/rest-0.6.deps
/usr/share/vala-0.14/vapi/rest-0.6.vapi
/usr/share/vala-0.14/vapi/rest-extras-0.6.deps
/usr/share/vala-0.14/vapi/rest-extras-0.6.vapi

while upstream rest has been at version 0.7 for a while.

I tried generating new vapi files myself, using these instructions:

  http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Bindings

but am hitting trouble with Rest.Proxy.Call (see below).

Could someone help generating the new bindings (and hopefully getting
them into the next Vala release)?

The Ease presentation software has been broken on Fedora for a while,
because Fedora no longer has rest-0.6, and Vala does not have rest-0.7
...

Thanks!
