Good points.  We should probably not move foreign files and subdirectories. 
Plugins should be responsible for moving their files and subdirectories.  And
we shouldn't move plugins.

List of files to copy:
accels (this is autogenerated by us/gtk, right?)
accounts.xml
blist.xml
dict (from the word replacement plugin)
pounces.xml
prefs.xml
status.xml

List of directories to move then symlink:
icons/
logs/
smileys/
