+- Replace pkgconfig(libvala-0.14) BuildRequires with
+  pkgconfig(libvala-0.16) in order to build against vala 0.15/0.16.
+- Add anjuta-vala-0_16.patch: Fix build with libvala-0.16
+- Add gnome-common BuildRequires and call to autogen.sh, as the
+  above patch touches the build system.
+- Delete .c files that are auto-generated from .vala files to
+  ensure they are generated with the right vala compiler.
+- Add vala BuildRequires: as we drop the shipped generated .c
+  files, we need to rebuild them during our build.
