Comment:

 (In [e4b22781fe6c2a7cd1133ee36a308ede967be25e]) Tell gstreamer not to
 fork; remove the SIGCHLD -> SIGALRM hack, which made
 Pidgin unrunnable on non-Linux platforms.  This involves depending on
 gstreamer
 >= 0.10.10, which has been around since 2006-09-14.  This isn't a problem,
 right?

 Fixes #1496.
