Ok, sounds good to me.

I'd leave it as a runtime check, that's safer ;)

Well, maybe it's not nice if we add it to our pkg-config files. We could add it
to GLIB_CFLAGS in common/m4/gst-glib2.m4 and then it's at least used for all of
our code and other applications are not affected. What do you think?
