Plugin.addDependencySimple

Make GStreamer aware of external dependencies which affect the feature set of this plugin (ie. the elements or typefinders associated with it).

GStreamer will re-inspect plugins with external dependencies whenever any of the external dependencies change. This is useful for plugins which wrap other plugin systems, e.g. a plugin which wraps a plugin-based visualisation library and makes visualisations available as GStreamer elements, or a codec loader which exposes elements and/or caps dependent on what external codec libraries are currently installed.

Convenience wrapper function for gst_plugin_add_dependency() which takes simple strings as arguments instead of string arrays, with multiple arguments separated by predefined delimiters (see above).
