[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The Vala compiler also supports a language called Genie, which is very
similar to Python but compiles down to C in the same way that Vala does.
Genie files can be mixed with Vala files on the command line.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Genie

Automake does not currently support files with the extension .gs - this is
easily confirmed by adding one to the _SOURCE primary for a Vala project.

This patch adds support for Genie files. The patch includes modifications
to the existing Vala tests to ensure that it functions correctly. The patch
does not appear to affect any other modules when the entire test suite is
run.

I think it would be nice add support for Genie in Automake.

Would you be willing to assign the copyright to the Free Software
Foundation, so that we could install it in Automake?

Thanks.

Any news regarding the copyright assignment?
