I'm not entirely sure this follows:

 - there's gst_registry_update(), so in principle it should be possible
   to do _add_path(); _update(), no?

 - not that I mind deprecating these functions, but I don't really see
   why one should just declare them as useless because they're not
   used. Why not just make scan_and_update_registry() use them?
