RE: distclean rule works well, but distcheck said it doesn't.

Hi Tal,

I'm really not a Vala/automake expert, the information I got is from the
docs only.

In the link I've given you in my last email, the following is stated:
"Any .vala file listed in a _SOURCES variable will be compiled into C
code by the Vala compiler. The generated .c files are distributed. The
end user does not need to have a Vala compiler installed."

So, the end user doesn't need to have a working valac. Otherwise it
would be a bug in the docs that you should report. Did you try it once?
