Borrow a reference to a string instead of g_strdup'ing it. The PurpleStatus should ALWAYS be destroyed before the PurpleStatusType, so this should be ok. Yes, this is just one little string. But we copy every attribute for every PurpleStatus for every buddy on your buddylist--it adds up.

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.
