 To clarify this... Instead of using a #define to create a macro, you need
 to leave the existing *function* in place and have it call the new one.
 Then, you'd mark the function as deprecated in ChangeLog.API, mark it with
 @deprecated in the Doxygen comment for that function in the header file,
 and wrap the definition in the header file with #ifndef
 PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to get something like this:

 {{{
 #ifndef PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
 /**
   * Fetches the data from a URL, and passes it to a callback function.
   ...
   * @param data       The user data to pass to the callback function.
   * @deprecated Use purple_util_fetch_url_request_with_proxy() instead.
  */
 PurpleUtilFetchUrlData *purple_util_fetch_url_request(const gchar *url,
 ...
                PurpleUtilFetchUrlCallback callback, gpointer data);
 #endif
 }}}

 There also seem to be a number of spurious whitespace changes in the diff.

 Fixing these two issues should be relatively trivial. From there, I don't
 know anything about the actual content of this patch.
