- Require glib2>=2.4.0nb1 to get the RTLD_GLOBAL fix.
- Move the plugins database from /var/cache/gstreamer-0.8 to
${PREFIX}/libdata/gstreamer-0.8, because it's intended to be updated
after (de)installation of plugins only.
- Implement a framework to automatically rebuild the plugins database at
(de)install time. This is handled by the simple inclusion of plugins.mk
in package makefiles.
