+Summary: Unconditional building of glsink seems wrong
+
+Since I do not have GLUT on my system, a gst-plugins build fails. There
+does not seem to be any conditional compilation option for this particular
+sink (e.g. sys/Makefile.am just adds it to SUBDIRS without question) and
+there is no checking in configure.ac to ensure that all the components are
+present.
+
+This feels untidy, especially as I have a relatively standard installation,
+so I would like something to be built just "out of the box", which
+gst-plugins normally does excellently.
