Get rid fo purple_strlcpy and purple_strlcat. These are convenience functions that call g_strlcpy and g_strlcat. They're only mildly convenient, though. And only used in one place. The reason I don't like them is that I think it's easy to use them incorrectly. It's easy to use the functions and not realize that they use sizeof() to determine the size of the destination buffer. I think it's too easy to accidentally use these functions with a string on the heap (which wouldn't work correctly).

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.
