Add the ability on win32 to choose at runtime whether we use the GIOChannel implementation from glib or the one in libpurple. I'm not sure if anyone else will use this, but I've used it for testing and here it is.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
