-Subject: [PATCH] disable vala fatal warnings
-
-When building midori in a buildroot directory cloned from git, the git
-descript --tags command return tags from buildroot, which in turn sets
-the --fatal-warnings flag. Disable --fatal-warnings unconditionally.

-Subject: [PATCH] add option to specify path to g-ir-compiler
-
-By default, find_program (GIR_COMPILER_BIN g-ir-compiler) returns the host path
-to g-ir-compiler, which is undesirable in a cross-compile environment.
-
-Add an option to manually specify a path to the g-ir-compiler.
