annotate src/value.h @ 9363:997c28571364

[gaim-migrate @ 10171] Patches by Felipe (shx) to clean up some code, add some segfault precautions, fix chats so that we'll see the other users in the chat correctly after invites, and to have MSN ignore the local buddy list adds if we're not already signed on (which fixes a *very* annoying bug I was having). Thanks again! committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
