In theory this is possible because under the covers the vala compiler generates plain old ANSI C source and header files. We've looked at packaging Shotwell before as pure C code for distribution, but there are a number of technical issues to be resolved involving configuration, etc., and we thought that implementing new features was a better use of our time as devs. That said, if someone in the community wants to come forward and put together a C-only source package, I think that'd be great! If the packaging is solid enough, we might even consider making the package available on the Yorba website, right beside our own Vala tarball!
