The "processing" flag basically says "this connection is busy, don't destroy it yet, wait until it's done processing." I don't think there's any reason for us to set processing to TRUE just because we're connecting. I think this is a holdover from before our purple_proxy_connect() could be canceled. But now that it's cancelable, if we want to kill the connection we can cleanly cancel the connect without worrying about the callback being triggered.

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.
