Thanks!

I'd personally favour Debian (probably testing) + Fedora. I guess these
are the most common development environments around.

Do you think you can make the second system use gcc-2.95, so we catch
gcc-2.95 style compile errors? Example:

GST_DEBUG ("bla");
gint bla = 0;

which should be:

gint bla;
GST_DEBUG ("bla");
bla = 0;

I see a lot of such code lately, it'd be good to catch it asap. I only
test-compile on gcc-2.95 once every few weeks or so.

I'm doubting that this is a good idea, since if anyone cared, he'd be
subscribed to gst-daily. Right?

Sure.

Thanks again, great job!
