Allow setting the name of the current location. The default is still Pidgin because I have no idea how to determine the "Computer Description" that the official client uses by default (and I'm not even sure it exists on all platforms).

This program calls purple API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use purple-send-async.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
   $0 PurpleAccountsGetAll
   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
