annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 17670:7e4e3f6582d2

Add MSIM_FAKE_SELF_ONLINE preprocessor definition (which I define) to fake one's own user account always being online. This is needed because msim does not allow adding yourself to your buddy list. (Other prpls do this too, btw.)

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.
