Make the Conversation->More menu work for Chats. The chat needs to be on your buddy list for this to work. Creating a transient PurpleChat blist node for generating the menu for chats not on the buddy list does not work well because the menu item callbacks expect the node to still exist.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
