annotate finch/libgnt/gntentry.h @ 29511:89a523641c64

This change is probably going to be unpopular, but I ask that people give it a chance before blindly reverting it. This shortens and changes a bunch of the text from the About box. I think it's better this way, as the text we had before was insanely long when this shorter text gets the same message across. This also reorganizes some of the help resources we listed (IRC channel, FAQ, etc). This should finish addressing the complaints that prompted me to start looking at this dialog and chopping stuff out of it.
