annotate libpurple/blist.h @ 20986:12753bdeaf47

Make Perl and Tcl debug information in the About dialog based on runtime information (the Perl and Tcl plugins being present) instead of compile time information. This should be more accurate. I don't know how this affects statically linked plugins (is that even possible for these plugins?).
