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 program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send,
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how
to specify the parameters.

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
