 FYI, SPC received criticism that it should be built against libspc, and
 that it might be non-free, hence I didn't include it in the first
 place.  Now it is unmaintained.  It is absent from the packages that
 are acceptable in the 0.10 series.

 If you fixed configure.ac by:
 -GST_DOC()
 +GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK()

 Then this might be worthwhile to send upstream, could you explain how
 it break things to call GST_DOC instead of GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK?  I
 certainly see it is wrong, but I had no problem with it until now.

 (I've reported that upstream.)

   Bye,
