Hi everyone,

I've written a new buildlist program for APBuild. Furthermore I've
added that the apsymbols.h file is created just before compilation.
This allows you to change the minimum required glibc version on the
fly using the new APBUILD_MINIMUM_GLIBC environment variable.

Changelog: http://trac.autopackage.org/changeset/2566
New buildlist.vala:
http://trac.autopackage.org/browser/apbuild/trunk/buildlist.vala

The new program is written in Vala. IMHO a very nice programming
language which I want to use more often in Autopackage. The advantage
is that it has no other dependency than glib and that it's far more
easier than Bash or C. It's translated to C so we can use apgcc for
compilation. Have a look: http://live.gnome.org/Vala
You can get autopackages here: http://watteimdocht.de/autopackage/vala

The new APBuild surely needs more testing. Please help me with that,
you can get a beta build here:
http://watteimdocht.de/autopackage/Autopackage%20Development%20Environment%201.4.2.package

I would like to seperate APBuild more from Autopackage. For example it
should have an own autopackage. I had some discussion (Can you "have a
discussion" in English?) with people on IRC who are using APBuild but
not Autopackage. I also think that the Zeroinstall, Klik or Listaller
developers could use a tool like apbuild, too, couldn't they?

So long,
Jan Niklas
