Wouldn't it be a good idea for Vala to install a valac.m4 file
in /usr/share/aclocal, containing a pertaining macro?

Something like AC_PROG_VALA([== 0.15]), so that everyone can use the
same macro, avoiding this kind of duplication and differences among
modulesets. This can set variables for both valac and vapigen in one go.
