This is an addition of a header file to GStreamer in the latest 0.10
versions that is not listed in the gir-repository Makefile.am.

I'm not completely sure why the header files are listed individually,
but since they are, addition of new header files to GStreamer can cause
problems.

I've attached a fix to:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590031

Filing bugs in bugzilla is a good approach when you hit compilation
failures like this. (The product/component for gir-repository is the
non-obvious glib/introspection.)
