Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/elements/Makefile.am:
* gst/elements/gstcapsfilter.c: New element that acts like an
identity, but filters caps.  Will eventually replace filtered
caps in pad linking.
* gst/gstutils.c: (gst_element_create_all_pads): New function
to create all the ALWAYS pads that are registered with an
element class.  This functionality should eventually be
merged in with GstElement initialization.
* gst/gstutils.h:
* testsuite/trigger/README: part of trigger test code that should
have been checked in a long time ago.

caps issues:
- We can't really tell until PAUSED that 'sinesrc ! identity ! ximagesink'
will fail (since identity has ANY as the pad template caps).
Because of this, it's nearly useless to perform the pad
template check.
Alternatives:
proxy pad template caps, but that reinstates the O(N^2) issue
in 0.8 during linking lots of elements.
remove checking of pad template caps compatibility
add a means of checking a pipeline for caps compatibility before
setting to PAUSED (ugly, requires special processing in each
element)
