We are currently carrying a number of vala versions where each version is essentially just a copy of the earlier version. This PR gets rid of a ton of duplication and uses a standard builder. Secondly, we add a definition for the latest vala 0.34.1. Lastly, we add a generic "vala" that refers to the latest stable version. I have tried changing the definitions for "simple-scan" and "valum" to use the latest vala version and they at least compile OK so I'll try a massive sed job to replace all the definitions later to simply use the latest version through "vala" instead of specifying a version directly. According to upstream: "Well-maintained packages are expected to always build with the latest stable Vala version." Maybe this means that my generic builder is then no longer necessary. Oh well... I added myself to the maintainer array for vala although I have no interest in the language - this was purely a nix exercise for me but I thought it was reasonable to be the one to clean up the mess if this has side effects...
