there are some things that I would not have done in that tutorial (like 
compiling all the libiconv, libintl, bison, flex, are they are available 
in the gnuwin32 site, same for glib, pango in Tor's website, libxml2 in 
Daniel Veillard's site). I would have not exported the CFLGAS variable 
(useless, and wrong values, btw), or at least , I would have set it to 
-O2, to get rid of the addition of -g that autoconf does (in a release 
mode).

Such documentation must be in the gstreamer ADM, imho (in 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-win32.html#section-win32-build)

My aim is trying gstreamer with avisynth 
(http://avisynth3.unite-video.com/) on windows with mingw.
