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.

This program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send, 
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
