[gst-devel] gstelement api changes

[Andy Wingo]

i'm about to commit the new parser, but i have a few core changes along
with it:

* added --gst-mask-help

* gstelement api changes:
  this is more contentious

would there be any anger if i simplified the gstelement api like so:

gst_element_get_pad () {
  if (gst_element_get_static_pad ())
    return $_;
  /* s/gst_element_request_pad_by_name/gst_element_get_request_pad/ */
  return gst_element_get_request_pad ();
}

and s/gst_element_connect/gst_element_connect_pads/
and s/gst_element_connect_elements/gst_element_connect/

cool?
