Re-namespacing Pidgin's API for Introspection

[Mark Doliner]

Thanks for sending this list! Your proposed renames mostly look good
to me. And making those changes in 'default' sounds good.

It does seem like they could be made internal. Or static. Fixing the
namespace seems fine for now. Someone could investigate making them
non-public later.

That's a bigger task, though. I think renaming them is fine for now,
and is an improvement.

It looks like it. I think this should be PurpleTFunc or
PurpleThemeFunc. I like the latter.

I have no opinion.

I tested undo in webview and it worked great for me. I removed all
three of these files (and the .c files).

They are currently used outside of gtkthemes.h/.c, so it seems like
the answer is yes.

Ankit: Or if it's faster for you to redo the renaming, don't feel
obligated to wait for Elliott :-)
