Don't use templates for the man pages, the API version change is a rare
event, so it's not really worth keeping in place the "sed" boilerplate
to have it set at build time.
Shipping the final man pages directly also makes it easer to install the
man pages with meson (in a future commit).
Note that now all the occurrences of the programs names have the API
version as a suffix.
Traditionally the example command lines looked like:
gst-launch ...
Now they look like:
gst-launch-1.0 ...
This reflects the actual programs names and makes it easier to copy and
paste the example commands.
Also, the .gitignore file is adjusted not to ignore the final man pages
anymore.
You may need to clean your src/build directory before pulling in this
patch.

People should just query the registry themselves or write a small
python script if they need this functionality (which is likely
less work than parsing the XML that this script outputs, and I'm
not aware of anything using the xml2text xsl either).
Original commit message from CVS:
Externalized the plugin information in /etc/gstreamer/reg.xml
- no need to do a plugin_load_all()
- plugins are loaded when needed
- typedetect functions are loaded when needed (still buggy)
- no need to check for the existance of the plugin in the codecs
- added gstreamer-register to create the reg.xml file
- renamed launch to gstreamer-launch
- plugins need to register the typefactory they provide
modified the plugins to meet the new design
modified the plugins to correctly set their pad types
autoplugging can be done without loading the plugins now
Original commit message from CVS:
OK, I think I've got all the .cvsignore stuff taken care of, though we'll
want to fine-tune things as we go, of course. Most of them are the same,
with some exceptions for directories that produce executables (those are
listed by name after the standard ones and a newline for separation).
