[Vala] Vala to Android

[tarnyko tarnyko net]

Hi folks, 

No it's not a question :-). 

It's very rare for me to message the list when not for a question/answer, 
but I managed to compile a Vala source directly to Android binary
yesterday. And I think it might be of some interest to some people here. 

For the record, I've written a tutorial here :

It's still very limited (only access to core Vala + GLib/Gobject
methods) but it could easily be extended by porting libraries having Vala 
bindings ; although I know it's not easy stuff. 

For the graphical part, GTK+ doesn't work yet but I know Cairo has been
ported (http://code.google.com/p/cairo4android/) -and Cairo definitely has 
Vala bindings. 

Regards,
Tarnyko
