annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 28655:06fabb28bc69

The "packed" attribute on the raw_chunk data-structure seems to be a GCC extension. (ie, no alignment padding between members of the structure) To build with compilers which don't support this packed attribute, we've now use methods to access/modify the fields in the packed MXit chunk header.

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.
