# Search for a Vala compiler in PATH.  If it is found, the variable VALAC is
# set to point to it.  Otherwise, it is simply set to 'valac'.  This macro
# takes three optional arguments.  The first argument, if present, is the
# minimum version of the Vala API required to compile this package.  For Vala
# releases, this is the same as the major and minor release number; e.g., when
# `valac --version' reports 0.48.7, `valac --api-version' reports 0.48.  If a
# compiler is found and satisfies MINIMUM-VERSION, then ACTION-IF-FOUND is run
# (this defaults to do nothing).  Otherwise, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is run.  If
# ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is not specified, the default value is to print a
# warning in case no compiler is found, or if a too-old version of the
# compiler is found.
