/*
 * Design:
 *
 * The GstRegistry object is a list of plugins and some functions
 * for dealing with them.  Plugins are matched 1-1 with a file on
 * disk, and may or may not be loaded at a given time.  There may
 * be multiple GstRegistry objects, but the "default registry" is
 * the only object that has any meaning to the core.
 *
 * The registry.xml file in 0.9 is actually a cache of plugin
 * information.  This is unlike previous versions, where the registry
 * file was the primary source of plugin information, and was created
 * by the gst-register command.
 *
 * In 0.9, the primary source, at all times, of plugin information
 * is each plugin file itself.  Thus, if an application wants
 * information about a particular plugin, or wants to search for
 * a feature that satisfies given criteria, the primary means of
 * doing so is to load every plugin and look at the resulting
 * information that is gathered in the default registry.  Clearly,
 * this is a time consuming process, so we cache information in
 * the registry.xml file.
 *
 * On startup, plugins are searched for in the plugin search path.
 * This path can be set directly using the GST_PLUGIN_PATH
 * environment variable.  The registry file is loaded from
 * ~/.gstreamer-0.9/registry.xml or the file listed in the
 * GST_REGISTRY env var.  The only reason to change the registry
 * location is for testing.
 *
 * For each plugin that is found in the plugin search path, there
 * could be 3 possibilities for cached information:
 *  - the cache may not contain information about a given file.
 *  - the cache may have stale information.
 *  - the cache may have current information.
 * In the first two cases, the plugin is loaded and the cache
 * updated.  In addition to these cases, the cache may have entries
 * for plugins that are not relevant to the current process.  These
 * are marked as not available to the current process.  If the
 * cache is updated for whatever reason, it is marked dirty.
 *
 * A dirty cache is written out at the end of initialization.  Each
 * entry is checked to make sure the information is minimally valid.
 * If not, the entry is simply dropped.
 *
 * Implementation notes:
 *
 * The "cache" and "default registry" are different concepts and
 * can represent different sets of plugins.  For various reasons,
 * at init time, the cache is stored in the default registry, and
 * plugins not relevant to the current process are marked with the
 * GST_PLUGIN_FLAG_CACHED bit.  These plugins are removed at the
 * end of intitialization.
