http://nosnilmot.com/patches/gaim-0.77cvs-doclove.patch
(21:38:43) LSchiere: oh wow
(21:38:44) LSchiere: sure
(21:38:56) nosnilmot: oh crap, does that spelling nonsense conflict with

(21:40:22) nosnilmot: LSchiere: apparently the spelling police avoided doc/
, so that patch should still apply
(21:40:29) KingAnt: :-)
(21:40:31) LSchiere: nosnilmot: commit message?
(21:40:44) KingAnt: "Dr. Love"
(21:40:54) nosnilmot: "I never knew EvilDennisR did anything, now I do"
(21:41:05) LSchiere: and the serious commit message?
