annotate src/blist.h @ 13810:a84523152a24

[gaim-migrate @ 16240] This is not a completed update, but it has useful bits and bug fixes and the completed update will take some more time. This adds support for some of the status API to Tcl, as well as improving the handling of several of the pointer types (by introducing a gaim reference object type and appropriate string roundtrip functions) and introducing some "type safety". committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
