 I couldn't put the equivalent of "pidgin.exe -d > debug.log" without
 windows complaining. And typing that in at the command prompt would have
 been annoying plus it leave a command window lying around that no one
 wants.

 So after a few hours of searching online how to write batch scripts, how
 to process strings in them, and launching another program without keeping
 a command shell window open (the hardest part).

 This script opens pidgin in debug mode and redirects its debug output to a
 new file each time in a debug directory under the directory the script is
 executed from.

 The debug directory will be created if needed. Hope some one likes it. :-)

 Put this file in your pidgin install directory, and then link the shortcut
 to it if its not in the normal directory.
