debugging information is printed to the debug window (which can be turned
on in the preferences) whether or not --enable-debug was selected. Most
of the information that's printed is useless anyway though; so the
--enable-debug option really doesn't do a whole lot.

PROGRAM FLOW
============

  concerned with. If you want to remove multiconnectivity from gaim,
  all you would really need to do is comment out any lines that make
  reference to this function (there are only two - one in aim.c and one
  in buddy.c). Or you could just run ./configure --disable-multi.

network.c:
  This has two functions: get_address and connect_address, both of which
  call proxy functions. If you want to see how these are used, look at
  toc.c and/or rvous.c. These are really just front-ends to the proxy
  stuff; use these instead of calling the proxy functions.

oscar.c:
  One big hack of copied code. This is supposed to be the libfaim tie-in
  in gaim. Most of it is just copied straight from faimtest, the small
  program that comes with libfaim. I'm not even sure how half of it works,
  if that makes you feel any better.

  the actual dlopen(), dlsym() stuff is in plugins.c. But this contains
  all of the functions that the protocol plugin needs to call, and manages
  all of the protocols. It's a pretty simple file actually.

proxy.c:
  This is where the bulk of the actual networking code is done. The big
  function here is proxy_connect, which will connect through the proxy
  setup you've chosen (most of which don't work...) or just regularly.

rvous.c:
  This was originally going to be the stuff for all of the Buddy Icon
  and Voice Chat stuff, but I got really sick of protocol hacking really
  quick.  Now it only houses the file transfer stuff, which only works

proxy.c:
  Adam (of libfaim glory) got bored one day and rewrote this file, so now
  everything actually works. The main function is proxy_connect, which
  figures out which proxy you want to use (if you want to use one at all)
  and passes off the data to the appropriate function. This file should be
  pretty straight-forward.

rvous.c:

  and Voice Chat stuff, but I got really sick of protocol hacking really
