While the doc parser allows for certain variation, it is a good idea to not
use random characters here and there, but try to stick to the little markup
syntax there is.
When calling gobject-introspection scanner, make sure our own
freshly-built libs within the source tree (well, build dir) come
first in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. May or may not help to make sure
that it doesn't pick up older external plugins-base libs (or
.gir files) from outside the source tree / build directory as
dependencies of the introspected lib instead of using the
stuff we just built in a sibling directory.

So people can check what version of the gst-plugins-base libs they're
building against or linked against.
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MAJOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MINOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MICRO
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_NANO
API: GST_CHECK_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION
API: gst_plugins_base_version()
API: gst_plugins_base_version_string()
Point g-ir-scanner to the .la file of our library, which hopefully
makes it find the right dependencies in all cases (ie. our locally
built libgstreamer and not the system-installed one). This is also
how it's done in Gtk+ and how it's documented in the wiki, see
http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/AutotoolsIntegrationFixes#603710.
Use new girdir and typlibdir from core .pc files, so we can figure
out the right includes to pass to the gobject-introspection tools,
whether core is installed in the same prefix as gobject-introspection
or in a different prefix or uninstalled. This also keeps us from adding
bogus paths to the includes that only work if core is uninstalled.
Also add some missing includes/pkgs where needed.
I also renamed glib_enum_prefix to glib_gen_prefix as we also use that for the
marshallers. Also rename the rtsp-marshal.list to work with the unified prefix.
Differentiate subtitle streams and lyrics/cracktastic/complex streams via
the category string in the headers. This seems like a useful distinction
to make, and also seems more future-proof. See #525743.
It doesn't make sense to ask installers for the same codec or element twice, so filter out duplicate requests before calling the external helper script and make the unit test check this works right. Fixes#567636.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/descriptions.c:
* gst/typefind/gsttypefindfunctions.c:
Recognise Kate subtitle streams (#550582).
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/missing-plugins.c: (copy_and_clean_caps):
When cleaning up the caps fields also remove "depth" for the same
reason we remove "width".

(gst_install_plugins_context_copy),
(gst_install_plugins_context_get_type):
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/install-plugins.h:
Add GBoxed GType for GstInstallPluginsContext, this eases the wrapping
for bindings.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/Makefile.am:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/pbutils.h:
Use glib-enum generator to have a proper enum GType for
GST_TYPE_INSTALL_PLUGINS_RETURN so we can easily wrap it in bindings.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/descriptions.c: (formats):
Add description for 'private' dts caps (who come up with that name?).

Add one or two missing formats. Generate ADPCM description
dynamically depending on layout/format.

(see #470456).

API: add gst_missing_*_installer_detail_new() convenience API so
that applications that know exactly what they're missing can request
installer detail strings for those items directly instead of having
to first create a dummy missing-plugin message and then get the
installer detail string from that. Fixes#470456.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/missing-plugins.c:
(gst_missing_plugin_message_get_installer_detail):
Add missing separator in PID fallback case.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/descriptions.c: (caps_are_rtp_caps):
Add description for Windows Media RTP caps.
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/missing-plugins.c: (copy_and_clean_caps):
Remove RTP fields that don't define the format from caps.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.c:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/missing-plugins.c:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (missing_msg_check_getters):
Change GStreamer marker prefix in detail string from 'gstreamer.net'
to just 'gstreamer'. Document the caps string component of the
decoder/encoder detail a bit better, since not everyone will be
familiar with the GStreamer media type/caps system (but they better
enjoy nested itemized lists).

API: add API for applications to initiate installation of missing
plugins, ie. gst_install_plugins_async() primarily.
Based on libgimme-codec by Ryan Lortie.
* configure.ac:
Add --with-install-plugins-helper configure option so distros can specify
the path of the helper script or program to call when plugin installation
is requested (distros: please do any argument munging in this helper
script instead of patching GStreamer to pass arguments differently
to another program directly).
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-docs.sgml:

Build and document new API.

Some simple checks for the new API.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/missing-plugins.c: (copy_and_clean_caps):
Remove more fields so that the application can better blacklist
formats that have been tried before.
