Add pidgin-2 and purple-2 .pc variants Instead of adding ${includedir}/libpurple to the include path, purple-2 adds ${includedir}. This allows projects to #include <libpurple/debug.h> rather than #include <debug.h>, which prevents libpurple's headers colliding with the project's own, and is more conventional. media/codec.h needed tweaking to compile.

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
