(don't bother with two trees, or even two copies of the same file). Then
when you're ready to make your patch, simply run 'cvs diff -u >my.patch'
and send it off.

CODING STYLE
============

  A massive file with a lot of little utility functions. This is where all
  of those little dialog windows are created. Things like the warn dialog
  and the add buddy dialog are here. Not all of the dialogs in gaim are in
  this file, though. But most of them are. This is also where do_import
  is housed, to import buddy lists. (The actual buddy list parsing code
  is in util.c for winaim lists and toc.c for gaim's own lists.)

gaimrc.c:
  This controls everything about the .gaimrc file. There's not really much
  to say about it; this is probably one of the better designed and easier
  to follow files in gaim. The important functions are towards the bottom.

pass it the connection and all the necessary info. And that's how things
get done.

I hope some of that made sense. Looking back at it it makes absolutely no
sense to me. Thank god I wrote the code; otherwise I'm sure I'd be lost.

There should be absolutely *ZERO* GTK in the PRPLs. PRPLs should *NEVER*
say what the UI *looks* like, only what information needs to be there.
There's currently an effort to get the GTK that is contained in the PRPLs
directory out of there. If you submit a patch that adds GTK to those
directories it's very likely to be refused, unless if I'm in a good mood
and decide to relocate things for you. That's not likely.
