I should have my email address in here, I think. I'd be ok with listing me as "maintainer" or "developer and maintainer" if people think it's a good idea. I think I like being sorted in with everyone else and not listed at the top, since there are other people who I think contribute a lot more than me. I feel kinda like a spirit guide. One day you might be taking a walk in a forest and see a talking lizard, and that lizard will turn out to be me, and you'll be totally freaked out, but it'll be ok.

/*
   This example demonstrates how to use libpurple-client to communicate
   with purple.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libpurple-client are the same as those in purple.  However, all
   structures (such as PurpleAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by purple.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of PurpleAccount when an id of
   PurpleBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.
