Try to put all of gst_init() in a background thread sounds painful to me - but
possible, and without changing GStreamer itself.... just all the applications,
heh.

An approach I've thought of before would be to make gst_init() spawn a thread
for registry reading and instrumenting all the entry points to the
gst_registry_* with a _priv_gst_registry_wait_loaded()... so that the registry
loading occurs asynchronously and the program can continue without blocking
until the first time it actually tries to look at plugin features or create an
element.

It doesn't work if anything accesses the GstRegistry stuff directly though -
everyone would need to go through the API
