Awesome. I am thrilled to see the results.

But, as this is loosely related to Vala in general i'll ask right here:

Where do you see the benefits of autotools over cmake in a
vala-project? I know that the GNOME project requires its official
sub-projects to use autotools als buildsystem and i know that debian
packages is most simple when the source tarball uses autotools because
one can leave the debian/rules-file as is. But does this really
compensate for the time-costs of learning and using the (in my
personal view) highly unintuitive autotools? Is there any technical
aspect i am missing here?

Yours, Grindhold.
