annotate src/eventloop.h @ 8273:f24172f53650

[gaim-migrate @ 8997] This is Scott Lamb's eventloop abstraction patch. If it breaks things, Scott Lamb will be glad to take the punishment. If it doesn't, it should make integration into other event loops easier. Well, no, not easier, harder actually, but it'll be done more appropriately and less hackily.. er, hacky. Is hackily a word? committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
