Even though I haven't yet had the time to have a deep look at what you have
done (and plan to do as explained above), I guess it will be good for
Libgda's useability in Vala projets, and I thank you a lot for that.
However before moving on to the next milestones could you first take into
account these points:

   - handle bug #667382
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667382>related to Vala
   - add some documentation about what you have done, in the doc/C/
   directory to help people getting started (including me) with Libgda and Vala
   - as a side note, the .gir files (at least the one in libgda/) are
   currently managed by git whereas they should normally not because they are
   generated at compile time. From what I understand, having the gir files
   managed by git is a current workaround for bugs, but that cannot IMO remain
   like that in the future (i.e. the gir files must be the ones generated at
   compile time).

Thanks a lot again,

Vivien
