Building pidgin on windows - Instructions and source dont match

[Stiju Easo]

hi,

i am trying to build pidgin on windows by following

https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin

i took the source as listed in
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/UsingPidginMercurial

build fails, as per my firstlook ,
it seems source code in pidgin/main is updated to 3.00 version and steps to
build listed dont match
