API: GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE()
API: GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER()
Based on a patch by Håvard Graff <havard.graff@tandberg.com>.
This now allows GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE() to create a static plugin if
GST_PLUGIN_BUILD_STATIC is defined. The resulting plugin can be
statically linked or dynamically linked during compilation but
can't be dynamically loaded during runtime.
Also adds GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE() and GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER(),
which allows to register a static linked plugin easily.
It is still required to manually register every single statically linked
plugin from inside the application as this can't be automated in a portable
way.
A new configure parameter --enable-static-plugins was added that allows
to build all plugins we build here as static plugins.
Fixes bug #667305.
and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

We will add support for our own printf modifiers, so we can
get nice debug log output on all operating systems irrespective
of the specific libc version used.

libwinpthreads provides POSIX time API.
It also provides libpthread alias for itself, for compatibility, so that
is what we will link with.
Fixes#697550
In order for 1.x and 1.(x+1) versions to not invade on each other
we need to have different lib versions.
So we need a consistent and predictable scheme:
library version number = MINOR * 100 + MICRO
Ex:
1.0.0 => 0 (duh)
1.0.3 => 3
1.1.0 => 100
1.1.1 => 101
1.2.0 => 120
1.10.5 => 1005
....
Users of GStreamer are not generally expected to use the GModule API
directly. so don't force them all to link against it.
While we're at it, no need to define this via configure.ac really, just
put the dependencies directly into the .pc.in file.
Without using AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT explicitly,
certain platforms will complain that the header
was found, but not usable by the compiler.
This happens for instance on Solaris where certain
headers are needed to pull in proper defines.
Also upgrade to newer autoconf syntax and use proper quoting.
