I added the second include bsd.gstreamer.mk to bsd.port.mk not too long 
ago.

When you say we need to be able to build gstreamer-plugins in a 
monolithic way,
Would it be better to add a port say gstreamer-plugins-all, a kind of 
metaport, not really monolithic but it
may work for what we want/need.

Or add a "all" to bsd.gstreamer.mk which will build all plugins if 
USE_GSTREAMER=all is defined
   this may be useful for some ports.

Or add a knob in gstreamer-plugins to build every plugin ?
