Not ok.

With this patch, I did this, in python:

import gst
c = gst.caps_from_string("video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480")
print c.to_string()

Which output:
video/x-raw-yuv, width=(int)640, height=(int)480;;

Then took that string, and went back to my installed gstreamer (0.10.14), and
ran this:

import gst
c = gst.caps_from_string("video/x-raw-yuv, width=(int)640, height=(int)480;;")
if not c:
    print "You broke compatibility!"

Which unfortunately printed out the "You broke compatibility!" message.

We serialise caps in various places, and changing the serialisation of them
will break things. So, we MUST avoid doing so.
