It appears to be unstable/broken and unmaintained on our part, inefficient, and
uses deprecated and hence unsupported and little-tested (by vendors) Windows
API.

See this mailing list thread for more details:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gstreamer.devel/24146

If this is in fact the case we should move it back to gst-plugins-bad.

(I don't think this is a problem for anyone, since on win32 people are likely
to bundle the parts of GStreamer they need rather than rely on distributions of
GStreamer+plugins from third parties, like on linux).
