I'm not quite sure how it will work. I know the Farsight team is
working on getting Farsight 2 running well in Windows. After that, I
think it's just a matter of including or directing people to the right
GStreamer dlls, similar, as you said, to how GTK or libxml is now.
Some of the Farsight people have recommended trying out OABuild v2 as
well (http://people.collabora.co.uk/~oleavr/OABuild/). Although, what
I've done might not be compatible with that version of Farsight 2 just
yet.
