New description:

 Please backport Windows FHS support from the 3.x branch into 2.x. This
 would allow building of Pidgin as a proper package in Unix-like
 environments such as Cygwin, MSYS, and MSYS2.

 Below are the commits that seem to implement FHS support in the 3.x
 branch. Also, FHS has been implemented on top of the autotools support, so
 it needs to be mapped into the static makefiles of the 2.x branch.
