Subject: gremlin/gremlin.in: Add function for linking a sequence of elements.
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/autoys/commitdiff_plain/0dbdd41c0fb4ff48ff4380c477a77c3198db3436?hp=483b52d0c2e2ab4a12fccf1a9af03b9e5a119738

gremlin/gremlin.in: Add function for linking a sequence of elements.

Later versions of the Python GStreamer bindings lack a binding for
`gst_element_link_many' -- because that would make things too easy or
something -- so prepare by introducing and using a utility function.

No functional change.
