[gaim-migrate @ 1921] Mike Heffner's redesigned UI. I changed around a lot of things from his patch, not because they weren't good or needed or anything like that; most of the changes I made just made the patch smaller. I moved functions back to where they originally where and renamed them back to what they originally were. Granted the names aren't as... good as the changes Mike made, but eh, it made my life a lot easier when I could see the meat of the changes without all the cosmetic details. The only thing I really changed about his patch was I made the list BROWSE instead of SINGLE so that there wouldn't be need for a deselect callback. Oh yeah, and update_show_plugins is called from different places (so that plugins can call load_plugin and have the window update properly). committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

DESCRIPTION
-----------
icqlib is the most feature complete, open source, library implementation
of Mirabilis' ICQ protocol available on the Internet. icqlib currently
supports approximately 90% of the ICQ UDP v5 protocol and 80% of the
ICQ TCP v2 protocol, including new UIN registration, chat, and file
transfer.

Features:
* written in C for portability - compiles on most Unices
* supports multiple simultaneous connections to ICQ servers - more
  than one UIN can log in and receive events
* SOCKS5 firewall support for both UDP and TCP protocols
* event driven, non-blocking interface
* supports Russian language - automatically performs conversion from
  Windows 1251 encoding to unix koi8 encoding
