	Signals - Changed:
	* "received-im-msg" and "received-chat-msg" to match, both now pass a
		conversation pointer and flags
	* "receiving-im-msg" and "receving-chat-msg" to match, both now pass a
		conversation pointer and a pointer to the flags.
	* "drawing-tooltip": the second argument is now a GString* instead of
		a char**
	* Signal propagation now stops after a handler returns a non-NULL value.
		This value is now returned. Previously, all registered handlers were
		called and the value from the last handler was used.

		to the invite (accept, reject, prompt the user).  See the Doxygen
		documentation for the details.
	* Renamed "conversation-drag-end" to "conversation-dragging" and emit
		before the conv. window swap happens. This prevents the old conv window
		from being freed before the signal emits.
	* "buddy-typing" and "buddy-typing-stopped": replaced the GaimConversation*
		with GaimAccount*, const char *name.  Also, the signal is now emitted
		regardless of whether a conversation exists	and regardless of whether
		the user is on the buddy list.

	  want the blist.xml file to be written to disk.  There
