There does seem to be an issue with removing Pidgin in that it runs with 
only a system tray UI presence, and typical, non-technical, users of 
Pidgin don't account for this, so the uninstall fails because it is 
still running.

I haven't written Windows installers, so I don't know how easy it would 
be to either have the un-installer terminate the application, or have 
the final removal done as a runonce operation on the next reboot.
