He's right though -- the relationship between C and Vala is not 1:1 unless
the C code was generated by valac.  Converting arbitrary C code into Vala
is possible, but unwieldy.

A professor from my college days did a project that converts between
various languages.  It's quite complex, but amazingly all the conversion is
done in XSLT.  I'd recommend checking it out to see what kind of territory
you're wading into here: http://xmlvm.org
