Trouble is, OpenMAX IL components may be supplied by third parties who know 
(or care) nothing of gst-openmax, and there may also be conflicts between 
components supplied by various third parties.  The .info idea is good but 
insufficient for solving the problem.  A configuration file is ideal for 
solving this problem.
