Hi Nicolai
I do understand what you're saying, but that's what I really try to avoid.
There is a really huge reason why not to do what you say, As I say earlier:

This is almost a standard in vala written packages. So what happen if I use 
AM_PROG_VALAC([min_vala_vers])?
If the user don't have this, it fails to compile, because it 
The trick of *_vala.stamp is taken from the automake automatic support of vala, 
but I want to do it differently(so it can compiles only with gcc).
Type ./configure --help, and notice the --enable-vala and --disable-vala.
The example I used for doing this is in directory ./examples/automake of 
xfce4-vala package, here it is:
http://archive.xfce.org/src/bindings/xfce4-vala/

Thanks,
Tal
