/** Gst::Registry - Abstract base class for management of Gst::Plugin objects.
  * One registry holds the metadata of a set of plugins. All registries build
  * the GstRegistryPool.
  *
  * Design:
  *
  * The Gst::Registry object is a list of plugins and some functions for
  * dealing with them. Gst::Plugins are matched 1-1 with a file on disk, and
  * may or may not be loaded at a given time. There may be multiple
  * Gst::Registry objects, but the "default registry" is the only object that
  * has any meaning to the core.
  *
  * The registry.xml file is actually a cache of plugin information. This is
  * unlike versions prior to 0.10, where the registry file was the primary
  * source of plugin information, and was created by the gst-register command.
  *
  * The primary source, at all times, of plugin information is each plugin file
  * itself. Thus, if an application wants information about a particular
  * plugin, or wants to search for a feature that satisfies given criteria, the
  * primary means of doing so is to load every plugin and look at the resulting
  * information that is gathered in the default registry. Clearly, this is a
  * time consuming process, so we cache information in the registry.xml file.
  *
  * On startup, plugins are searched for in the plugin search path. This path
  * can be set directly using the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. The
  * registry file is loaded from
  * ~/.gstreamer-$GST_MAJORMINOR/registry-$ARCH.xml or the file listed in the
  * GST_REGISTRY env var. The only reason to change the registry location is
  * for testing.
  *
  * For each plugin that is found in the plugin search path, there could be 3
  * possibilities for cached information:
  *
  *    - the cache may not contain information about a given file.
  *    - the cache may have stale information.
  *    - the cache may have current information.
  *
  * In the first two cases, the plugin is loaded and the cache updated. In
  * addition to these cases, the cache may have entries for plugins that are
  * not relevant to the current process. These are marked as not available to
  * the current process. If the cache is updated for whatever reason, it is
  * marked dirty.
  *
  * A dirty cache is written out at the end of initialization. Each entry is
  * checked to make sure the information is minimally valid. If not, the entry
  * is simply dropped.
  *
  * Implementation notes:
  *
  * The "cache" and "default registry" are different concepts and can represent
  * different sets of plugins. For various reasons, at init time, the cache is
  * stored in the default registry, and plugins not relevant to the current
  * process are marked with the GST_PLUGIN_FLAG_CACHED bit. These plugins are
  * removed at the end of intitialization.
