Change the way we parse messages on MySpace a little bit. This fixes #8846: people using web myspaceIM can't respond to pidgin myspaceIM For some reason IMs send using the myspace web site are sent so that they won't become offline messages if the other person is offline. I'm not really sure why that decision was made. So now we treat messages with bm 1 the same as messages with bm 121. This means we have to combine the function that parses out typing notification with the function that parses IMs. And we check for typing notifications by looking for %typing%. Which means if someone sends the IM "%typing%" with no markup then we'll interpret it as a typing notification. And there's nothing we can do to differentiate between the two. I asked.

SILC Purple Plugin
==================

This is the Purple protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet
Live Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include SILC into Purple, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell Purple's ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the SILC Toolkit cannot be found then the SILC protocol plugin will
not be compiled.
