Pidgin invoked via hyperlink

[Eion Robb]

Hi Robert,

It sounds like you're after purple-remote (
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/purple-remote.1.html) which
handles URI parsing and passing off to Pidgin.  Different distros will
include it as part of libpurple, Pidgin, or a separate package.

Cheers,
Eion
