annotate src/util.h @ 7132:d17a587efeb3

[gaim-migrate @ 7699] new blist parser code, and some tweaks to the account code to make my next commit possible. the other parser code can get moved over to this model to make things cleaner, but i'm too lazy to do it now. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
