I fixed this debug information. It's a annoyance in GLib. The Win32 code 
doesn't check for a NULL pointer and goes too far to use it. I will post 
a new dev-env package soon with the fix.

I fixed this crash. It was also due to GLib that was build with NLS 
(Native Language Support or something like that), but it crashes 
miserably with this option (and provided DLLs). So I recompiled it 
without this option AND debug info. So it's possible now to browse 
inside GLib for possible problems using MSVC :D

With this, I almost manage to create a basic registry.
It was created in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.gstreamer-0.8\registry.xml.tmp
But failed to overwrite the registry.xml file that was already there :/ 
I'll check this later on. But now GStreamer-win32 is almost in a usable 
state (from a dev perspective).
