It also appears that GStreamer (at least gstreamer itself, HEAD of
master and 0.10) doesn't actually use fig files for the documentation,
just PNG.

If we're talking about a large number of packages then I'd agree, but
if we're saying that oe-core should have imake and transfig-native so
that if you patch libtheora to build documentation it has diagrams,
then I'm not sure that's a suitable trade-off.
