Google Summer of Code - Remote Logging

[Hajo Nils Krabbenhöft]

Well i now got it working for me on windows & debian. I had to rewrite 
the sd_sets function to get accountId and buddyId from conversations and 
then used the buddyId to poll name and type out of the buddies table. I 
also had to modify the sets operation data structure to save the set 
callback and use it later on to insert new log entries into the set. 
Otherwise the log viewer seems to "calculate log size" for an infinite 
amount of time. With these modifications it's working stable for me as 
long as i dont open the debug messages view. When i have that one open, 
the program randomly crashes with gtk errors. I think this is because 
the processing thread is writing to the debug log as well as the main 
gui thread, but i need to check tomorrow. Also, the plugin does not 
automatically reschedule failed database operations, so a sudden 
disconnect could cause data loss X( 
If using the summer of code branch, the plugin will show up in the 
preferences where you can select between HTML, Text and Remote Logging. 
I think that what is needed to make the current version accept the 
remote logging plugin is to add the new asynchronous methods to the 
logging api and use them when appropriate.
So my first goal is to get the plugin binary i have to load with the 
newest pidgin.
If that works, then its not so important if the plugin actually compiles 
since i can just use the binaries i got.
