Yes, because the build directory only has "gst.exe" and "gst-tool.exe", 
but the installation has all the tools as separate executables.  They 
are actually the same program as "gst-tool.exe", but they look at their 
executable name so they behave differently.

Interesting.  I'll try to figure out how.

Can you also say "gst" but not "gst.exe"?

It was waiting for input from you :-)

Interesting. :-)

I think I know what's happening.  You don't have getpid on Windows, I guess.

Yeah.

I think it's just more complicated to setup because (on Windows) you're 
not used to compiling from source.  But overall it doesn't seem too bad 
a shape.

I honestly don't know.
