That is a good idea.

We might want to retain two binaries, though, one with and one without
SDL support: one binary might not be sufficient for both shell-level
scripting and SDL programming, since for scripting use of gst, you don't
want to constantly register and deregister applications with the gui
system when you don't intend to act like a proper gui app - it's heavy,
and distracting to users.
