vala: Support \e escape sequence (1.62 KB, patch)

Description pancake 2010-07-09 10:09:40 UTC 
GCC supports \e as an alias for \x1b which is the escape character for ansi control codes.

This escape code is not supported by visual studio or sun studio, but if you use \x1b it works fine in ansi consoles.

Do you think it will be good to translate \e into \x1b in strings while translating vala to c?
