Kill the libpurpleperl hack library and move the init stuff to perl.so itself. This works fine for me and I'm hoping will work fine on Solaris as well. When it gets tested we'll want to drop libpurpleperl.c but until I know it works I don't want to drop it (because of mtn's die die dir merge stuff).

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.
