annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 17318:7abd1eca3d18

Bug fixes in MsimMessage: msim_msg_pack_element() now completely ignores fields that begin with '_', instead of adding an empty string. This eliminates the incorrect empty spaces between \'s in packed messages. msim_msg_pack_element() now correctly packs TRUE MSIM_TYPE_BOOLEAN elements, instead of adding a superfluous slash, that desynchronizes parsing. msim_msg_get_node() returns NULL if the name passed to it is NULL, instead of crashing in strcmp(). Similar to how g_malloc(0) == NULL.
