gst-plugins : plug-ins for GStreamer

* to develop against uninstalled GStreamer core :
  add path to gstreamer-uninstalled.pc to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  or run configure --with-pkg-config-path=(path to gstreamer uninstalled)

* to register plug-ins in source tree
  run gst-register --gst-plugin-path=.

* if a certain plug-in doesn't build, then redo configure with
  --disable-(plug-in)
  to disable it from the build

* Additional documentation :

GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for 
details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available 
under other licenses. This means that if you are using an application which 
has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source application) 
with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to use GPL-linked plug-ins.
When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons 
under the GPL itself.
