libjabber, libymsg and liboscar are not plugins, they are libraries
(in this context plugin - shlib that exports one function, gets loaded
explicitly; library - shlib that exports lots of stuff, gets linked to
implicitly). Plugins shouldn't be versioned. Libraries should be.

On other points - yes, definitely it can and should be done by substing
something appropriate here.

Also - you don't have to merge this. I can patch Pidgin on my side. Really
important stuff is already in hg master.
