I've put the libgnt so versioning stuff into finch/libgnt/configure.ac, which allows for building libgnt standalone. Until it's split out, we'll need to increment the version numbers in both places, which is documented in each configure.ac.

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.
