6cddce7663 plugin: API: GST_PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_PATHS_ARE_RELATIVE_TO_EXE
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.

We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.

If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.

In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

519d64881f Don't use deprecated g_object_newv()
Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.

Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.

Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

043c629e72 windows: Make GStreamer installation relocatable
Use the technique that is now done in GTK+ so that the plugins do not have
to be installed in c:\gstreamer\lib\<debug>\gstreamer-$(GSTApiVersion),
but can be installed in
<parent_folder_of_gstreamer_main_dll>\lib\<debug>\gstreamer-$(GSTApiVersion),
or as per g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module() allows.

f8dd5550c2 pluginloader: check read/write before closed

bcec051a5f Add versioned variants of some environment variables
Improve parallel installability in setups like jhbuild by
providing versioned variants of some environment variables:

 GST_REGISTRY_1_0
 GST_PLUGIN_PATH_1_0
 GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0
 GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_1_0

will now be checked before checking the unversioned ones.

ed80a5cd4b registry: rename gst_registry_get_default() to gst_registry_get()
It's not really a default if there is only one that can't be changed.

Should we return a ref like e.g. g_volume_monitor_get() does?

f660536eb3 pluginloader: only run gst-plugin-scanner with /usr/bin/arch wrapper on OS X >= 10.5
Based on patch by: Daniel Macks <dmacks@netspace.org>

Earlier versions of OSX don't support proper multiarch and
trying to use /usr/bin/arch -foo with those versions would
just break things.

159cf687a1 pluginloader: make sure gst-plugin-scanner is called with the right arch on OSX
On OSX, GStreamer might be built as a 'fat/universal' binary containing
both 32-bit and 64-bit code. We must take care that gst-plugin-scanner
is executed with the same architecture as the GStreamer core, otherwise
bad things may happen and core/scanner will not be able to communicate
properly.

Should fix issues with (32-bit) firefox using a 32-bit GStreamer core
which then spawns a 'universal' gst-plugin-scanner binary which gets
run in 64-bit mode, causing 100% cpu usage / busy loops or just hanging
firefox until killed.

6b84f4573c gstpluginloader: do not leak the description string
The description string was changed to an inlined string a while back.
(But: no need to intern the const strings here, we just use the interning
to avoid allocating duplicates and make memory management easier,
since the strings will be around for the life-time of the app anyway).

a9d1a493a7 Fixes for -Wwrite-strings
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.

already an installed version.

3c7c9692ac plugin-scanner: rename plugin-scanner helper binary to gst-plugin-scanner
and install into a different directory $(libexecdir/gstreamer-0.10) so that
everything is versioned properly.

NOTE: run 'make clean' after updating; if you are running an uninstalled setup,
you will need to update your gst-uninstalled script (unless it's symlinked
to gstreamer core master) and exit/enter your uninstalled environment to get
the updated environment. If you are running an installed setup, you should
run 'make uninstall' before merging this change or remove the old
plugin-scanner binary manually.

Fixes #601698.

f425b2711f plugin loader: Don't fail after a short read/write
The logic to handle short reads/writes was incorrect, causing the
packet handler to attempt to handle incomplete packets.

Grow the packet transmit buffer in proportion to observed usage,
causing fewer reallocs.

Add some more debug in the registry chunks code.

27284628e4 optimisation : Use g_object_newv where possible.
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)
