/pidgin/main: 0bdba5ad006b: Win32: use a hardcoded Bonjour SDK p...

[Eion Robb]

I just deconstructed the Bonjour SDK msi files and it does install to the
system program files directory through the %ProgramFiles% env var/system
setting.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files has a bit more info
about the localised names.
