Comment (by shreevatsa):

 This count isn't kept by libpurple itself, but both Pidgin and Finch set
 it.

 For any conversation `conv`, you can get its unseen count with:
 {{{ unread = purple.PurpleConversationGetData(conv, "unseen-count") }}}

 (Replace `purple` with whatever. If you want to sum over all
 conversations; it's trivial to do it in your language.)

 Note that "unseen" is a property of the UI (Finch thinks a message is
 unread iff it came in a conversation that was not the active "window" of
 Finch.)
