Manually fflush() files written with purple_util_write_data_to_file, because apparently some filesystems (XFS) can and will leave bogus file contents if we don't. For systems which don't have fileno(), this involves closing and reopening the file.

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.
