When using autotools with vala, end-user that only "consumes"
application doesn't need to have vala installed, since generated C
files are also distributed inside tarball. From user's perspective,
distributed vala applications are just normal C applications.

This is how normal flow looks like:

.-------------------------------------.
| .------------.  valac   .---------. | compiler/linker   .-----.
| | vala files | -------> | C files | ------------------> | app |
| '------------'          '---------' |                   '-----'
|                                     |
| This is dstributed inside tarball.  |
'-------------------------------------'
