Building pidgin on windows - Instructions and source dont match

[Eion Robb]

Hi Stiju,

The BuildingWinPidgin page at
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin#GetthePidginsourcecode
says to use the release-2.x.y branch.  Otherwise, tarballs of our released
versions are available at the standard download locations as listed at
https://pidgin.im/download/source/

either https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.10.12/
or https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/downloads

Cheers,
Eion
