Was working on this more last night and commented most of the Gst* libs
out. Haven't yet pushed those changes.
The plain Gst typelib is loaded, there's just a little trick to it:
foreach my $name ('', ('Allocators', ...)) {
my $basename = 'Gst' . $name;
my $pkg = $name
? 'Gst::' . $name
: 'Gst';
...
}
That initial empty string in the foreach loop will end up building
$basename and $pkg as 'Gst'. I should probably comment that.

That's the thing--it works fine as far as it goes. It's just compiled
against a deprecated version of the API (0.10), and there's no
straightforward way to compile it against the new stuff (1.0).
Given the precedent set by Gtk2 and the like, I think making it GStreamer1
will be fine.
Thanks,
Timm
