[gaim-migrate @ 8954]
This is Tim Ringenbach's patch to move some IP-related functions into the
new gaim_network namespace, improve the local IP checking functionality by
opening a socket, change some prefs, and add the ability to modify these
prefs in the UI. Some ft.c bugs were fixed, and OSCAR, Jabber and Yahoo
were updated to reflect the changes. The DCC SEND portion of this patch was
not committed, as per his request (unless I misunderstood? :)
