Wow, that was long long time ago. I even forgot why I wrote that. But all I
remember is - it was very very very difficult to build GStreamer under Windows.
I think that's why I need to use another build system to build GStreamer. I
also recall that GStreamer needs Visual Studio (not the Visual Studio Express,
it appears some features of Visual Stuiod are used to build, and they didn't
appear in Visual Studio Express) to build under Windows, it's not free, not
even cheap, not affordable for students like me. Also, with VS build system,
it's not possible to use mingw as compiler. I'm not sure is my recall correct
and how's Windows building system going now.

Another reason I wrote it with SCons, might be that I felt autoconf/automake
really sucks, they are not portable (to Windows), difficult to understand and
difficult to write, to debug. Personally, I really hate to solve problem
introduced by autoconf/automake, they just like a crap.

Anyway, I'm not using GStream for now. And I have no idea do my SCons build
scripts still work now.
