 It would be nice if the log reader is able to read another pidgin's logs
 too. Here's why that feature would be useful to me:

 I dual boot (Windows and Linux) and use Pidgin on both OSs. They store
 their logs in different places. I can't simply point my Linux log
 directory to the Windows log directory using symlink because the Windows
 log directory is on a read-only NTFS filesystem. Windows of course cannot
 read Linux filesystem without extra drivers. I would like to point the log
 reader plugin at the windows logs (/windows/Documents and
 Settings/myuser/Application Data/.purple/logs) and have it "merge" those
 logs into the history.

 Thanks.
