I am using vapigen as more of a proof-of-concept to show that it is
possible to automatically bind non-gobject libraries.  The naming
problem (and the missing functions) comes from gen-introspect messing up
and not from vapigen.

You are absolutely correct, they are now fixed. My bad :P

Writing bindings by hand would have been MUCH faster in this case.  I
see using vapigen as a learning experience for me, so I can improve it
in the future if I want.


Thanks for the feedback!
