annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 22311:02eda4bd2b22

Apply the custom smiley patches from #1187, from Jorge Villase?o (Masca) and Mauro S?rgio Ferreira Brasil. I have not applied the bits on MSN yet. I will have to look at it later, but I would rather someone else more familiar with the MSN code look at it first. I changed some bits of the applied patch (whitespacing, camelcasing etc.), and the bit that required a major version bump (in gtkthemes.h). There are a few more things that need to be done for this to be merged back to i.p.p.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
