After taking a look at the parse launch lexer, it seems we can cut down the
size significantly using the attached patch.

With this change, the size of the gstreamer.so here drops from 2193KB to
1565KB.

The big reduction comes from dropping support for quoted strings and mimetypes
in our parse launch syntax, which I don't think anyone uses anyway. I will
solicit more comments on this from the website.

I've added a testsuite of various parse launch lines to CVS, and all continue
to work with this patch.
