This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

Late g_thread_init() is fine with newer GLib versions and done automatically
from g_type_init() there, so don't warn if the application hasn't called
g_thread_init() yet when gst_init() is called with new GLib versions.
Fixes#608398.
We require threads to be supported in any case and defining this
will simplify the mutex, condition variable, etc. macros from gthread
to not always check if threads are really supported.
Fixes bug #607481.
The OGI links are dead, so remove them. Also remove the paragraph that pointed
to OGI and DS. Only mentioning DS there made it a but pointless. Add a generic
paragraph instead that tells a bit about the usecases gstreamer covers.
Possibly fixes GObject class creation/unref race conditions when
creating the last-message string in fakesink for events with
structures that have fields with these enum types.
Fixes build with -Werror caused by '_FILE_OFFSET_BITS redefined' warning on
OpenSolaris where _FILE_OFFSET_BITS may be defined both in our config.h
and via stdio.h (#575695).
This will be mostly useful in all elements that have some kind of internal
seek/index table. Currently almost all of them (or even all of them)
are using a linear search although the used array is already sorted,
wasting some CPU time without good reason.
Fixes bug #573623.

Remove GST_DISABLE_(ENUMTYPES|INDEX|URI) everywhere.
Disabling the indexers and URI handler code will only reduce the
required amount of memory by a very small amount but on the other hand
requires much more maintaince work. Apart from that many places of
code are broken when disabling them.
Disabling the enum types doesn't reduce the required amount of memory
by more than a few bytes and makes it hard to fix bugs like #539772,
i.e. use the enums as GObject properties.

GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC to gst_plugin_register_static().

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
_gst_trace_on is already provided by gsttrace.h, no need to declare

* docs/libs/gstreamer-libs-sections.txt:
Add 'buffers', 'check_cond' and 'check_mutex' from libgstcheck
and remove strange tcase_add_test which is outputting a warning.
* libs/gst/check/gstcheck.c:
* libs/gst/check/gstcheck.h:
Properly declare 'buffers', 'check_cond', 'check_mutex' extern
and define them in gstcheck.c instead of having every .c file whcih
includes gstcheck.h be defining its own copy and relying on symbol
interposing to marry them all, which doesn't work on Solaris.
* tests/check/elements/identity.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Don't define 'buffers' locally, it comes from libgstcheck.

API: add gst_plugin_register_static() and deprecate
GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC, since it's not portable
(#498924).
Also, in _gst_plugin_register_static(), make sure to call
g_thread_init() before calling GLib functions such as
g_list_append() if we're not initialised yet, since that
may lead to random crashes with older GSlice/GLib versions.

* gst/gstdebugutils.c: (priv_gst_dump_dot_dir), (debug_dump_element),

Move getenv() back into gst_init, so everyone can live happily
ever after. Make sure the symbol isn't exported though.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (_gst_disable_segtrap):
Make _gst_disable_segtrap static, it's only used in gstplugin.c and
we can use gst_segtrap_is_enabled() there now that we have that API.
Move _gst_debug_dump_dot_dir into gstdebugutils.c, there's no reason
to do the getenv here (and export the variable).
* gst/gstdebugutils.c: (debug_dump_element),
(_gst_debug_bin_to_dot_file), (_gst_debug_bin_to_dot_file_with_ts):
Don't use VLAs which is a C99ism and throws off MSVC (#493983).
* gst/gstinfo.c: (_priv_gst_info_start_time), (_gst_debug_init),
(gst_debug_log_default):
Rename _gst_info_start_time to priv_gst_info_start_time so it
doesn't get exported (was never in any header).
* gst/gstplugin.c: (_gst_plugin_fault_handler_setup),
(gst_plugin_loading_mutex):
Make static mutex gst_plugin_loading_mutex really static (was never
in any header), and use gst_segtrap_is_enabled() instead of
_gst_disable_segtrap.
* gst/gsttrace.c: (_gst_trace_default):
Make local _gst_trace_default static (was never in any header).
Original commit message from CVS:

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
Don't use GST_INFO before the debug system is actually initialised
(shouldn't do any harm, but won't print anything either, so we can
just as well remove it).
* gst/gstinfo.h:
GST_CAT_LEVEL_LOG_valist(), which is our inline helper function for
compilers that don't support variadic macros (such as MSVC), should
check for debug_level <= __gst_debug_min as well, since that's the
function called from all the level-specific GST_CAT_*_LOG_OBJECT()
inline helper functions. Should improve performance a bit, but also
makes sure uses of GST_INFO et.al are ignored if the debugging
system isn't initialised yet (instead of printing an assertion
failure).
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
Add GST_DISABLE_OPTION_PARSING, in order to disable option
parsing for embedded systems.
* gst/gstelementfactory.c:
Allow gst_element_register() to be called with plugin==NULL.
Did nobody notice that static elements were broken?
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (gst_init_get_option_group):
Make warning about late g_thread_init() calls a bit more explicit,
so that it's more obvious to application developers what they need
to do if a user files a bug against their application.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (gst_init_get_option_group), (gst_init_check),
(init_pre):
Call g_thread_init() first thing in gst_init() / gst_check_init().
When initialisation is done via gst_init_get_option_group() and
GOption parsing, issue a warning if the GLib thread system has not
been initialised yet by the time gst_init_get_option_group() is
called, as it's quite likely other GLib functions such as
g_option_context_new() have been called already then, and
g_thread_init() must be called before any other GLib function. The
application in question must be fixed in that case, since memory
corruption might happen otherwise.
We issue the warning because even if the GLib folks decide to work
around the problem on their end in future, this is still an issue
with all GLib versions >= 2.10.0, so we should warn until we depend
on a GLib version we know to be safe.
Update documentation as well.
Closes bug #391278.

* gst/gst.c:

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (init_pre), (init_post):
init_pre() and init_post() might be called via our GOptionGroup or
from gst_init(), and we should skip both of them if we've already
been initialised, otherwise we will init some things twice or add
two default log functions.

Call _priv_gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins after scanning files to
ensure that the registry we're about to write out doesn't contain
stale information about old-deleted plugin files.

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (scan_and_update_registry), (init_post):
If the fork()'ed child process can't write the updated registry cache
file to disk for some reason, make it exit with a failure exit code,
so that the parent can then re-scan the plugins itself and update the
registry structures in memory and work with that (rather than failing
when creating elements because seemingly no plugins are available).

also separate fork() and non-fork() code paths. Fixes#344748.
