[gaim-migrate @ 12228] This is the changes I made to plugin loading to oldstatus a few days ago. Luckily plugin.c is compiled before gtkstatusbox.c, so I can at least test that this compiles. It's basically the same code as oldstatus, so hopefully it'll work. Here's the commit message from that commit: sf patch #1118347, from Richard Laager, with changes by me This changes how plugins are loaded. Here's the run-down: 1. If a plugin is loaded, the plugin's full file name + path is stored in prefs.xml 2. When we attempt to load any saved plugins, we first try to load the plugin using the full path name. 3. If that fails, we strip the plugin's path and just use the base name. When doing this, if the plugin is a .so or .dll we also strip the plugin's extension. This change will hopefully allow people to use the same prefs.xml on Windows and "lunix" and have their list of loaded plugins not get cleared. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
