annotate src/util.h @ 7172:895cd1d03efb

[gaim-migrate @ 7740] I added buddy comment support for AIM and ICQ I also fixed a tini memleak in gaim_request_something when using a multiline dialog. I also tried to organize ChangeLog some. I put stuff that I thought normal people would care about the most at the top, and tried to group stuff aimed at plugin authors together, and nearer to the bottom. Feel free to do a better job than me. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
