thanks for the pointer..
indeed valac was used instead of the valac-0.10 which pointed to 0.12. i
specified 0.10 in shotwell's Makefile but forgot
plugins/Makefile.plugin.mk

anyway i updated my alternatives to point to valac-0.10 instead of
crippling makefiles. works like a charm

sorry for the confusion
