[gaim-migrate @ 1277] WHAT THE FUCK. Why do people use goto? It pisses me off. To no end. Let me say right now, if anyone submits a patch that has a goto in it, they'll probably be very ridiculed, possibly publicly, before i put them on my block list and refuse to accept any patches from them. Ever. Even if they don't have gotos in them. You can't excuse a goto. Ever. X-Chat has them all over. Read src/common/inbound.c. It made me do no fewer than three full-body shivers. Oh yeah, and i moved blist files from %s.blist to %d.blist. gaim will take care of moving it for you. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Note:

The plugins that come with GAIM are for educational purposes only.
We have released them hoping to give you guys enough information to
go on.  We'll continue developing them in our free time but we ask you
to do the same.  If you have any suggestions for them, let us know.

If you do not wish to enable the plugin support within GAIM, run the
./configure script with the --disable-plugins option and recompile your
source code.  This will prevent the ability to load plugins.

'make install' puts the plugins in $PREFIX/lib/gaim (PREFIX being what you
specified when you ./configure'd - it defaults to /usr/local). Gaim looks
for the plugins in that directory by default, but they do not have to be
there to use them. Also, plugins have a .so extension by default, though
they do not have to.

Enjoy and Happy Hacking!
