#99 Add basic support for DirectShow Base class (for gstreamer dshowdecwrapper)

[Frédéric Wang]

The dshowdecwrapper plugin was recently ported to GStreamer 1.0 and allows to use native Windows decoder (MP3, WMA etc). However, it can not be built with MinGW-w64 for lack of DirectShow Base Classes support:

The missing header is <streams.h>, which includes many other headers but probably only a subset of the declarations is needed for dshowdecwrapper (it seems that only the following classe sare enough: CBaseFilter, CBaseOutputPin, CBasePin, CBaseRenderer, CCritSec, CMediaType, CSource).

What would be the proper to add these declarations into MinGW-w64? Just reading the msdn doc and writing header files?

Sorry, this was a feature request not support request, so I opened https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/feature-requests/69/

Please ignore that ticket.
