The batch file is what starts the application - all it does is to
start the application and redirect the debug output to the
%LOCALAPPDATA%\.purple\debuglogs\2010-06-25_08.44.53.40.log (date/time
at which process started) file.  Instead of running Pidgin using your
normal shortcut, it is launched using the pidgin.vbs file.

That debug log file is just a text file that you can open in any text editor.

The idea is that we can look at that debug log and see if there is
anything there that can give us an indication of why it is hanging.
