annotate src/prefs.h @ 5534:0aa4d089125c

[gaim-migrate @ 5934] prefs is finally starting to look the way I wanted it to. now there is no explicit saving of prefs (except on quit). prefs are saved automagically when a pref is changed. i also went in and finished the job of moving the debug window over to new prefs committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
