The core portion of the migration code. This is implemented as I described in my e-mail a while back. If we have ~/.gaim and not ~/.purple (or we have ~/.purple, but the "migrating" file exists, indicating an incomplete previous migration), we copy all the files from ~/.gaim to ~/.purple and move and symlink directories, except for plugins and icons. For icons, we move and symlink any subdirectories, as a special case for the Album plugin (written by me). For this to work, it needs to be called by the UIs. Also, the icon migration code is not included in this commit, so I highly recommend you not test this on your main .gaim directory if you want a clean migration.
