New description:

 Recently Pidgin win32 build was broken, mostly because of new
 dependencies. We should:
  - update BuildingWinPidgin
  - make some changes in im.pidgin.pidgin to fix build

 I have managed to go through dependency hell, with great help from
 !LowJoel. There is mine step-by-step way to compile and run newest pidgin:

 {{{
 ######
 # Setting up build environment
 ######

 - prepare build environment as in
 developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin
   Pidgin 2.8.0 should build without any problems. 2.10.0 probably won't.
 At
   least it didn't for me.
 - install packages
   from http://software.opensuse.org
   to win32-dev/mingw
   - mingw32-libwebkitgtk-1.6.1-1.4.noarch
   - mingw32-libwebkitgtk-devel-1.6.1-1.4.noarch
   - mingw32-libwebkitgtk-lang-1.6.1-1.4.noarch (optional)
   - mingw32-libsoup-2.36.0-1.4.noarch
   - mingw32-libsoup-devel-2.36.0-1.4.noarch
   - mingw32-zlib-1.2.5-6.9.noarch
   - mingw32-zlib-devel-1.2.5-6.9.noarch
 - update GTK+ to 2.24
   remove win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.14
   from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
   to win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.24
   - gtk+-dev_2.24.0-1_win32
   - gettext-runtime-dev_0.18.1.1-2_win32
   - glib-dev_2.28.1-1_win32
   - gdk-pixbuf-dev_2.22.1-1_win32
   - cairo-dev_1.10.2-1_win32
   - atk-dev_1.32.0-1_win32
   - pango-dev_1.28.3-1_win32
 - move
   - win32-dev/mingw/include/webkit-1.0/* to win32-dev/mingw/include
   - win32-dev/mingw/include/libsoup-2.4/* to win32-dev/mingw/include
   - win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.24/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/*
     to win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.24/include

 # Running Pidgin
 ######
 - download some theme from www.adiumxtras.com, i.e. Modern Bubbling
 - extract it to .purple/themes
 - move Contents folder to purple/conversation, you will get Info.plist
 under
   .purple\themes\Modern Bubbling.AdiumMessageStyle\purple\conversation\
   \Contents\Info.plist
 - edit Info.plist and remove doctype
 - select your theme in preferences
