Hi Colomban - back on your automake bug report from six years ago (sorry!):
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:17:00 +0200
From: Colomban Wendling
[...]
The problem is that parsing of valac flags uses a non-anchored pattern
and so any argument happening to be a subset of a parsed argument will
match it, e.g. `vapi` will match against `--vapi` or `--internal-vapi`.

Indeed. I don't see a problem with applying your patch, but before I do,
I just wondered if anything else had come up with vala that needs to be
fixed? Please advise if you can. I've never used vala myself, so
wouldn't know. --thanks, karl.
