It seems that both the releases[1] and the snapshots[2] are older than 
the vala bindings[3] which seems to have been added from the
freesmartphone.org git[4] just 3 months ago.

According to SVN logs[5] the development seems slow and not in a state
of flux.

I will attempt to package the gory SVN HEAD as there seems to have been only
minor changes within the last 6 weeks.
