-Notes on keeping Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple OS independant
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-General
--------
-- Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths
-
-- Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf
-
-- Use purple_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME")
-
-- Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to
-  be included.
-
-- Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode.
-
-  e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb");
-
-  Not doing so will open files in windows using default translation mode. 
-  i.e. newline -> <CR><LF>
-
-Paths
------
-
-- DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined as functions in the win32 build
-  Doing the following will therefore break the windows build:
-
-  printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png");
-
-  it should be:
-
-  printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png");
-
-PLUGINS & PROTOS
-----------------
-
-- G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the
-  scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. purple_plugin_init)
-
-- G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your
-  dynamic library. (E.G. connections)
-
-  (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in win32)
