Alright, it's now set up so that we have both old API docs and nightly API
docs.  http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/

The docs for specific revisions must be built and uploaded by hand.  I only
added 2.0.0 and 2.2.0, but if other people want to add more feel free.  Just
check out that tag, then "autogen.sh" then "make docs," update the entire
"doc" directory and put it in /home/var/doxygen/ and name it after that tag,
then add it to the http://developer.pidgin.im/Doxygen/ wiki page

Luke, I can change the nightly docs to be generated on pidgin.im (I have a
mostly-working script), but doxygen isn't installed.  If you want to install
it (and graphviz dot, if it's not installed) and let me know I'll make final
changes.
