[gaim-migrate @ 7418] ok, these are some tweaks i've made to core code working on the new jabber plugin. - add gaim_find_buddy_in_group() that searches a specific group instead of the entire list. kinda handy. - re-did the base64 encoding function. i think it may have been broken, i'm not sure, but this i know works. - fix the formatted notify dialog to be more to my liking, and to have a working Close button. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
