This does 3 things:
1) Removes the "Get Capabilities" option which I re-added a few hours
ago. We decided that it's pointless, since caps are in the tooltips.
It also needlessly complicates things.
2) Adds an "unable to add this buddy because you are over the limit"
message that is currently commented out. We have some sort of a
message like this right now, but it's less good. If you really want
to know why, ask me.
3) Adds a workaround for the bug where some users tooltips do not
show capabilities sometimes. This is really an AIM bug, honest.
Gaim is getting status updates for people that don't contain their
capabilities. I guess it's probably intentional. I imagine it
saves a bit o' bandwidth, since each capability is 16 bytes.

37 - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the | |
38 scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) | |
39 | |
40 - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your | |
41 dynamic library. (E.G. connections) | |
42 | |
43 (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32) |
