Change the way we parse messages on MySpace a little bit. This fixes #8846: people using web myspaceIM can't respond to pidgin myspaceIM For some reason IMs send using the myspace web site are sent so that they won't become offline messages if the other person is offline. I'm not really sure why that decision was made. So now we treat messages with bm 1 the same as messages with bm 121. This means we have to combine the function that parses out typing notification with the function that parses IMs. And we check for typing notifications by looking for %typing%. Which means if someone sends the IM "%typing%" with no markup then we'll interpret it as a typing notification. And there's nothing we can do to differentiate between the two. I asked.

/*
   This example demonstrates how to use libpurple-client to communicate
   with purple.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libpurple-client are the same as those in purple.  However, all
   structures (such as PurpleAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by purple.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of PurpleAccount when an id of
   PurpleBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.
