+Summary: Incorrect use of GST_ELEMENT_ERROR breaks the build in NetBSD
+
+Several files fails to build under NetBSD (and maybe other systems).  All 
+errors are of the form: 
+ 
+<file>:<line>: error: parse error before "void"  
+  
+This is caused by the way NetBSD defines the NULL symbol and how  
+gstreamer defines the GST_ELEMENT_ERROR macro;  
+from /usr/include/sys/null.h:  
+  
+#define NULL (void *)0 
+  
+I've fixed all usages of the GST_ELEMENT_ERROR macro to surround NULL 
+with parenthesis, as this is the rigth way to fix this issue (see bug 
+135116, which is already closed and was about the same thing). 
+ 
+I'm afraid this error may reapear in next versions of gst-plugins.  It 
+could be nice to have some checks before 'dist' is run, to ensure this 
+won't happen again...
