Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.

This returns the internal feature list cookie, which changes every
time a feature is added or removed. This can be used by elements
to check if they should update their cached feature lists.
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
This avoids having to do the sorting everytime we use typefind
The behaviour of gst_type_find_factory_get_list has subtlely changed
in the sense that the order was previously undefined, whereas now
it returns them sorted by rank and then by name.
Maintain a hashtable of the plugin basename. We can then use this
hashtable to speedup the search for an existing plugin and avoid
a whole lot of strcmp calls.
When the plugin-scanner load fails (because the helper can't be
spawned), make sure to load the plugin that failed in-process, so
that all plugins do get loaded.
Everyone running an uninstalled git setup is going to wonder about
this failure next time they update, so let's mention the solution
in the error message.
When updating the registry, we don't need to re-read the registry cache
and waste time replacing all our existing, hopefully identical, plugins
and features that we're about to re-scan anyway.
phase 2 - make the plugin loader receive the list of plugins to load and
send back the results asynchronously, so we don't context switch back
and forth so much.
Original commit message from CVS:
Patch by: Simon Holm Thøgersen <odie at cs dot aau dot dk>
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Reduce the number of stat() calls for every file from three times
to one time. Fixes bug #560360.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstplugin.c:
* gst/gstregistry.c:
GstRegistryPool doesn't exist; don't refer to it in docs.
Don't refer to functions that don't exist in docs, it's
unhelpful.

* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Don't recurse into .debug directories as some distros install
the debugging symbols next to the plugins in .debug directories
and dlopen() crashes on them sometimes. Fixes bug #508070.
Add FIXME for 0.11 to not recurse into directories at all because
it's very inconsistent to the behaviour of other PATH environment
variables.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Run g_str_has_suffix() only on the file name, not the
entire file path.

Mac OS X love...
* configure.ac: Merge platform specific defines, introduce a new
define on OS X to remember that forking when updating registry is
unsafe.
* docs/faq/gst-uninstalled: Updated to include gst-libs in the bad
module.
* gst/gst.c: Don't fork when updating registry if GST_HAVE_UNSAFE_FORK
is defined.
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level): Fixed a bogus
condition that leads to absolutely no plugins being registered on
OS X.
Original commit message from CVS:
* configure.ac:
* gst/gstregistry.c:
MacOS has plugins under .so or under .dylib. Add detection for MacOS
and handle this case.
* gst/gst.c:
Add a comment here describing, why we stat each plugin and not try to
be smart.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
Fix type in log message and add one to ease seeing how long registry
cache verification takes.
* gst/gstregistry.c:
Only test plugin filenames against G_MODULE_SUFFIX.
