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.

When a line starts with a single quote it's treated in a special way by
man, which may result in paragraphs of the man page not rendered by the
man pager, so just avoid that.
A possible solution could have been to escape the singe quote with
a \(cq sequence but this is rather unreadable, instead the text has been
reformatted to have the problematic quoted 'ppc' string on the previous
line.

The portable way to have the dashes to be rendered as ASCII minuses is
to use the sequence backslash-dash, use this style at least for text
that can be copied and pasted (e.g. command names, file names, element
options).
Also use backslash-dash in the NAME section as suggested by lexgrog(1).

Introduce a new operator ':' - e.g. element1 ':' element2
For example, 'uridecodebin : encodebin' -
if the encodebin has multiple profiles compatible with the
decodebin, multiple links will be created.
With '!' , after one delayed link is successfully done, the
pad-added callback is disconnected.

Fix up default location of the registry.
Mention more options for GST_DEBUG (wildcards and
named debug levels).
Explain what to do with the dot files that can be
produced by setting GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR.

Remove GST_MAJORMINOR and replace it by GST_API_VERSION
Also set GST_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO,NANO} explicitely
now.
All versions are at 1.0.0 now for the release soon but
API/ABI can still change until the 1.0.0 release.
Next release versions until 1.0.0 will be 0.10.9X and
these will be release candidates. GST_VERSION_* will
nonetheless stay at 1.0.0.0.
Remove SIGUSR* handling from gst-launch, since it might interfere
with other things (e.g. libleaks), and should be done differently
anyway (either via support for simple timed-commands scripting or
remote control via DBus or so).
When option "-i" is given, set an index object on the pipeline and compute
statistics for all index writers. Print a sumary when shutting down the
pipeline.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/gst-launch.1.in:
Fix description of how to specify a type in caps. Fixes#553873.
Also ranges and list contain values and not property-assignments.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/Makefile.am:
* tools/gst-launch.1.in:
Don't create a customised man page based on the host architecture,
describe the default registry path generically. That way the man
page is the same for all architectures and packagers have one
multilib issue less to deal with. Fixes#434926.
Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/random/ensonic/media-device-daemon.txt:
more ideas (dbus)
* gst/gstbuffer.c:
fix doc example, add clarification
* tools/gst-launch.1.in:
add initial info about GST_PLUGIN_PATH, needs more work
