Use ~/.purple only, never ~/.gaim. This is a revert of the functional changes from revision a4f4b823686066b90a13a21feeb2d0d04091e9b5. I kept the comment introduced there, but updated it.

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.
