Yep, there's a $$system function that's suitable for this.  Many thanks 
for the pointer.

Btw, are you guys interested in having gstreamer-0.10 in MXE?  I could 
provide a patch (after I've done more tests with it) that adds these 
packages and makes sure it's usable with static linking.

Note that the current gstreamer-1.0 (and the gst-plugins-* packages) are 
not suitable, because they all lack the "--enable-static-plugins" 
configure option.  "--disable-shared" is not enough for this.
