Changes (by jeff):

  * milestone:  2.3.0 => 2.2.1

Comment:

 It took someone on Digg at
 http://digg.com/linux_unix/Pidgin_2_2_0_out_in_the_wild five minutes to
 figure out that msimprpl wants your email address instead of the
 myspace.com/username, and another comment suggested another user also was
 misled by the lack of a descriptive username field. This has been a common
 complaint with the MySpaceIM plugin.

 We missed 2.2.0, but based on usability problems when logging into
 MySpaceIM with Pidgin, upgrading milestone to 2.2.1 (hopefully we'll be
 able to make it by then).
