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.

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:
* gst/gst.c: (gst_init_get_option_group), (init_post):
Fix const position; ref GType classes for enum types to work
around thread-safety issues in GLib versions < 2.16.
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: Add a separate gst_deinitialized that prevents
gst_init() from being called after gst_deinit(). Fixes#509559
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (init_post):
* gst/gstplugin.c: (_gst_plugin_register_static),
(gst_plugin_register_static), (_gst_plugin_initialize):
* gst/gstplugin.h: (GstPluginFilter):
Change API of gst_plugin_register_static() to not take
a GstPluginDesc, but rather just take all the arguments
in a GstPluginDesc directly. This is more intuitive and
avoids certain mistakes when porting code from
GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC to gst_plugin_register_static().
Fixes#510187.
* tests/check/gst/gstplugin.c:
Fix up for changed API.
