[gaim-migrate @ 8453] I modified some of the libfaim connection stuff. I dunno, it seems cleaner this way. I like to be comfortable with what's going on. It's possible that FT and DC won't work now (although, they should), but I'll get to making them suck less pretty soon. Also upgraded the Doxyfile to 1 version newer. It mostly just moved some things around, but also removed the CGI_BLEH lines from the end. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
