opencv: extract some base code to a lib

[philippe renon]

Hi,
I would like to extract some opencv base code from the opencv plugin to a library.This would allow plugin writers to create their own opencv easily.

The opencv plugin is in gst-plugins-bad/ext/opencv.
I would like to move gstopencvutils.[h|cpp] and gstopencvvideofilter.[h|cpp] to gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/opencv.gstopencvutils provides a number of utilities and gstopencvvideofilter is the base class for writing opencv filter elements.
I think I know how to do it and it will be inspired from the similarly organized ext/gl and gst-libs/gst/gl modules.
My issue is library name:The gl libraries are named libgstopengl (for the plugin) and libgstgl- at GST_API_VERSION@ for the library.Shortening opencv to cv will probably not be accepted.Having two libgstopencv libraries that differ only in one having a version postfix will probably not be accepted too.
Suggestions are welcome...
Philippe.
