Hi All,
With respect to the efforts described in PR #1195[0] is anyone opposed to using Vala as a GObject code generator?
I propose we use Vala as a way to generate GObject boilerplate while we hammer out the design of FT-plugins, and later once the design is more concrete, that we port the GObjects generated by valac to their hand-written C equivalents (after they won't be changed as much).
It amounts to a few lines of code in `configure.ac` and `src/Makefile.am`.
Is OK?
P.S. This is only for the proposed 'ft-plugins' branch, not in master/release code.
Cheers, Matthew Brush

Nevermind, I can just use it locally for prototyping. Don't want to get too sidetracked on something that's not strictly required and/or turn off anyone who doesn't want to use Vala.
Sorry for the noise.
