Comment:

 I have the compile working in my im.pidgin.soc.2007.msimprpl branch but
 not against the released version of Pidgin 2.0.2.


 My ~/pidgin/compile is scriptversion=2003-11-09.00, but the compile in
 Pidgin 2.0.2 is 2005-05-14.22. I also have older copies of other scripts
 such as depcomp.

 This is puzzling because in the past I executed:

 {{{
 mtn explicit_merge t:v2.0.2 h:im.pidgin.soc.2007.msimprpl
 im.pidgin.soc.2007.msimprpl
 }}}

 I did this to merge the changes from the released version of Pidgin (not
 the latest version in MTN head) into my branch, so I could develop against
 a stable release. Doing it again fails, because I already did the merge:

 {{{
 mtn: expanding selection 't:v2.0.2'
 mtn: expanded to '1c5a391126b5b506a29f0b9e34160d239cb783c6'
 mtn: expanding selection 'h:im.pidgin.soc.2007.msimprpl'
 mtn: expanded to '8f5dfcecef9d9f89411cc157b1a87416338084d3'
 mtn: misuse: 1c5a391126b5b506a29f0b9e34160d239cb783c6 is already an
 ancestor of 8f5dfcecef9d9f89411cc157b1a87416338084d3
 }}}

 It may not be best to include a Makefile in the msimprpl archive, but
 instead have it dynamically generated by ./configure:

 {{{
 config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/gg/Makefile
 config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/irc/Makefile
 config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/jabber/Makefile
 config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/msn/Makefile
 '''config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/myspace/Makefile'''
 config.status: creating libpurple/protocols/novell/Makefile
 }}}

 The goal is to have ./configure show:
 {{{
 Protocols to build dynamically : gg irc jabber msn novell oscar qq
 sametime simple yahoo zephyr
 }}}
