When running stats.pl, just update the po files in place rather than creating a temporary file which is later deleted. This changes causes the po files to show up as modified in your workspace, but I don't think many people care. There are two benefits to this: 1. When this script is run on pidgin.im it will always only have to account for strings that have changed in the last day, which means it'll run a lot faster 2. The msgmerge'd po files will be put online at http://developer.pidgin.im/l10n/ for the convenience of the translators

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.
