Comment (by lmfe):

 Replying to [comment:8 seanegan]:
 > This patch breaks API compatibility. Could you rename the function that
 takes the filter by appending "_with_filter" to its name, and then add
 another function with the old name that just calls the new function with
 the default filter? I'd be glad to commit that.

 I could swear I discussed this option in the old #gaim-win32, and someone
 said to me that it was better to just break compatibility, instead of
 having two functions performing almost the same task.

 But I will rewrite the patch as you requested anyway.
