Building plugins for a prefix

I'm trying to test git head for gst-plugins-base.  I first built git head
of gstreamer and installed it in a prefix, which went smoothly enough.
Now I can't figure out how to tell gst-plugins-base where to find it.
Presently, it fails with

"configure: error: no gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.21.1 (GStreamer) found"

How can I tell gst-plugins-base to look for gstreamer in ~/prefix/ ?
(I've tried a few settings for the GST_LIBS envvar, without success.)

Make the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable point to ~/prefix/lib/pkgconfig.

It's also possible to use JHBuild [1], which takes care of all that (and will
do more, like checking out all the modules for you).  The needed jhbuild module
set is in the gst repo [2].
