Original commit message from CVS:
2004-07-14  Andy Wingo  <wingo@pobox.com>

* gst/gsttag.c: Add a tag merge func for pointers. The header was
there all along, but the function wasn't. (guile-gstreamer's build
system uses the address of the function -- I wasn't actually
trying to use this.)

2004-07-13  Andy Wingo  <wingo@pobox.com>

* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_try_set_caps): Naive link functions (such
as gst_pad_proxy_pad_link) just link to every other pad when they
are called. In the case where the graph has cycles, this will mean
that a call to try_set_caps will recurse. Allow this recursion
and return OK, while we wait for the first try_set_caps to give a
proper return value.
(gst_pad_link_call_link_functions): Since this function is the
only one to set the NEGOTIATING flag on a pad, if the flag is set
it means that the link functions have indirectly recursed. If this
happens, error out to avoid infinite recursion and an eventual
SEGV.
(gst_real_pad_class_init): Remove a crufty GtkObject comment.
(gst_pad_proxy_getcaps): Intersect the result with the template
caps to ensure that the return value is valid.

* gst/gstdata.c (gst_data_is_writable): s/>=/>/. If there is only
one refcount, the calling function is the owner of the buffer.

WHAT IT IS
----------
This is GStreamer, a framework for streaming media.  The
fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate
Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia.  It's based on plug-ins
that will provide the various codec and other functionality.  The
interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple)
to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and
release the source.

COMPILING FROM SOURCE
---------------------
- check output of ./configure --help to see if any options apply to you
- run
  ./configure
  make

  to build GStreamer.
- if you want to install it (not required), run
  make install
- You should create a registry for things to work.
  If you ran make install in the previous step, run
  gst-register
  as root.

  If you didn't install, run
  tools/gst-register
  as a normal user.

- try out a simple test:
  gst-launch fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
  (If you didn't install GStreamer, again prefix gst-launch with tools/)

  If it outputs a bunch of messages from fakesrc and fakesink, everything is
  ok.

- After this, you're ready to install gst-plugins, which will provide the
  functionality you're probably looking for by now, so go on and read
  that README.

COMPILING FROM CVS
------------------
When building from CVS sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate 
the build system files.

GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff.  To be a CVS developer, you need 
what used to be considered cutting-edge tools.

ATM, most of us have at least these versions :

* autoconf	2.52	(NOT 2.52d)
* automake	1.5
* libtool	1.4     (NOT Gentoo's genetic failure 1.4.2)
* pkg-config    0.8.0

autogen.sh will check for these versions and complain if you don't have 
them.  You can also specify specific versions of automake and autoconf with
--with-automake and --with-autoconf

Check autogen.sh options by running autogen.sh --help

autogen.sh can pass on arguments to configure - you just need to separate them
from autogen.sh with -- between the two.
prefix has been added to autogen.sh but will be passed on to configure because
some build scripts like that.

When you have done this once, you can use autoregen.sh to re-autogen with
the last passed options as a handy shortcut.  Use it.

After the autogen.sh stage, you can follow the directions listed in
"COMPILING FROM SOURCE"
