quite exactly the same job that needs to be done
It's the same job, but lex and yacc are not at all the "same" as vala.
They are fundamental Unix utilities that have been around
forever. Whereas vala is a relatively recent invention, far less
ubiquitous. So I see no reason to treat them the

No argument there, but vala is so much

Unlike include files, you can't simply tell cc to

Actually the traditional VPATH mechanism does not distinguish types of

I've had a look at the patch now, and found and fixed one bug.
However, an issue comes up for VPATH builds that needs a more thorough fix:
C files generated from Vala sources are shipped by "make dist" and hence
end up in srcdir, but in a VPATH build with a Vala compiler, they will be
