Hi,

I took a better look of the files (gstreamer-plugins-gl) and ...
I cannot see any comments in the code.

I think the best way it's to start from scratch, and only use
mutli-platform code.

Please make your code reusable, even if no time or anything else. I am
sure there is a good reason for no comments in gstreamer-plugins-gl code
(hope).


Sincerely,

Julien
