Comment(by bviktor):

 never mind the previous patches. here's an all-in-one with additional
 fixes ('''pidgin-2.6.6-windows-build-fixes.diff'''). i just applied it to
 the vanilla pidgin sources, then did a make install, make installers. it
 works like a charm. no more of annoying errors and restarts :)

 so what's been done so far:

 - patches for the pidgin sources

 - builds for the latest version of nss & nspr

 - installer package for recent gtk

 - fixes for the documentation (there's room for more but that requires you
 to accept this patch)


 the nss and gtk packages are available on the site i linked. as well as my
 pidgin builds. just for fun.

 however i understand that these modifications will cause pidgin cease to
 work on win9x. it may be a drawback, although graphs like

 this] make me think the opposite (others = 0,52%) :)
