You have several ways:
1) gst-inspect-0.10 /path/to/plugindir/x264.dll, which will inspect the
file directly
2) gst-inspect-0.10 --gst-plugin-load=/path/to/plugindir/x264.dll x264enc,
which will load the plugin, then let you inspect elements contained in it
3) set GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/path/to/plugindir, which gst-inspect and gst-launch
will then search for plugins

I don't think you should encounter any API/ABI problems, but if you do I'd
suggest building x264 using cerbero, as recipes for x264 have recently been
added, and it's actually quite easy to do. This also means the next release
of the SDK should include x264, though it remains to be seen if there will
even be another 0.10 release; I'd suggest you move to 1.0 at the earliest
possible moment since 0.10 is no longer maintained.
