soname versioning of libpurple. Should help resolve debian bug 421282 All version control is within configure.ac now Adjust the define for purple_version_suffix as appropriate: [devel] - normal development periods [betaN] - for beta releases [] - for releases Follow the instructions in configure.ac to set the version number depending on how the API has changed (ie. following our normal version numbering!) version.h is auto-generated now Added purple_version_check(), purple_major_version, purple_minor_version, & purple_micro_version for run-time version comparisons in addition to the existing compile time macros. libpurple Plugins moved again, this time to: $(libdir)/purple-$PURPLE_MAJOR_VERSION This will allow parallel installations of different major libpurple versions in the future should someone wish to.
