GStreamer 1.2.1, vs2013, cinder 0.8.5 and a 'hello world'

[Gordon Nickel]

As I've recently discovered, you can use the putenv() command to set the necessary variables during your app's lifetime. You can distribute the dll's needed for your app in a known directory (such as a relative path to your exe) and set the variables based on that.

Search for gstreamer-cinder integrations on google, there's a few that exist that work for general playback and could be extended for other uses.  (when I'm not on mobile I can link one)
