That's done and checked in. We now have a Gst::wrap() system that is
completely independent of Glib::wrap(), for use with
Gst::MiniObject-derived classes. It works like Glib::wrap() but will not
return the same C++ instance when called twice with the same GObject
instance. Hopefully it will be useful.

However, this is not actually useful for the Gst::Message-derived
classes, because there are no such derived GTypes in gstreamer. We made
the C++ classes up. I filed a bug about this in gstreamer but it's
highly unlikely to change:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503085

So we probably need yet another wrap() function, which could be a simple
hard-coded switch/case as a static method of Gst::Message. Would you
like to try that?
