build script wrongly identifies vala version 0.10.0 as older than required version

Bug Description
using sap 0.5.1 from the trunk
build script terminates with the following error
build: *** vala compiler version 0.7.10 or greater is required to compile sap
build: *** error code 2
it seems that even though a newer version of vala (0.10.0) is installed - the script (somewhat logically!) decides that 0.10 is less than 0.7
I've successfully built sap with an ugly hack of the script (just bypassing the check altogether) but I thought I should flag this up for other users now that vala is onto double figures for the first minor number.
I'm afraid writing a routine that would compare the version numbers successfully in /bin/sh is beyond me atm otherwise I'd post this up.

The real solution to this problem is to replace the build script with some "automake" horseshit that will allow me distribute the parsed C code in such a way that a user ( or packager) would only need to run:
./configure
make
make install
I know what I'm doing this morning.... ;)
