Sounds like a good plan!
OpenSuse-10.2 has glib2-2.12.4.

Btw. if you checkout gtk-doic from svn ther eis a nice now tool from matthias
hasselman (tbf).

cd gstreamer
for file in gst/*.c; do gtkdoc-depscan -v --book glib:2.8.0 $file; done

Its not perfect yet (needs a blacklist), but looks useful to me.
