+GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are
+optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on
+optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If
+you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug
+report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
+
+
+Required tools:
+===============
+
+An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of
+CVS (using autogen.sh):
+
+autoconf 2.52 or better
+automake 1.5
+gettext 0.11.5
+libtool v1.4 or better
+pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
+
+Required libraries:
+===================
+
+Package: GStreamer
+Version: 0.10.11.2
+Recommended: 0.10.latest
+URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
+DebianPackage: libgstreamer0.10-dev
+Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version
+ listed in this file is often wrong. If you are compiling from CVS,
+ the required version is often the latest GStreamer CVS.
+
+Package: GStreamer Base Plugins
+Version: 0.10.11.2
+Recommended: 0.10.latest
+URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
+DebianPackage: libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
+Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version
+ listed in this file is often wrong. If you are compiling from CVS,
+ the required version is often the latest GStreamer Base Plugins CVS.
