Bj�«Órn Voigt pointed out that my plugin info dialog doesn't show the e-mail addresses included in plugins' author strings. This should fix that. I opted to escape the plugin's name too because I recall seeing a plugin with characters in its displayed name that would need to be escaped to display in the dialog. Fixes <[e-mail]>.

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.
