 The current Pidgin development version 2.2.3 does not build outside the
 source directory. There are 2 places to patch:

 1) The patch for libpurple/protocols/myspace/Makefile.am is trivial.

 2) The patch for libpurple/Makefile.am is more difficult. The Make
 variable purple_coreheaders does not reflect the situation that version.h
 is outside the source directory, if Pidgin build takes place outside the
 source directory.

 I have tested the attached patch since some weeks. Testing could be done
 like this:


 {{{
 cd pidgin-mtn
 ./autogen.sh
 make distclean
 cd ..
 mkdir pidgin-build
 cd pidgin-build
 ../pidgin-mtn/configure
 make
 [... you will see errors about missing version.h ...]
 }}}
