Patch from shlomil in ticket #78. This fixes RTL text support in MSN, and lays the framework so it could be supported in other prpls as well. As added pluses, shlomil removed some duplicate code and fixed some small related bugs. committer: Richard Laager <[e-mail]>

This program calls gaim API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use gaim-send-async.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 GaimAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
   $0 GaimAccountsGetAll
   $0 GaimCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
