Just for clarification...
When I write GST_CFLAGS/LIBS=XML_CFLAGS/LIBS+GLIB_CFLAGS/LIBS, then
read it as GST_CFLAGS=XML_CFLAGS+GLIB_CFLAGS and the same for libs.

Next thing. I am trying to simplify configure.{base,ac} with
AM_PATH_<package> stuff, i.e. AM_PATH_VORBIS, AM_PATH_LIBMIKMOD,
AM_PATH_MAD, etc.
