Summary: Log converter

Initial Comment:
I wrote a simple perl script to convert gaim log files
from the old format to the new.  It's not quite a
patch, but it might be useful to some people.  I make
no guarantees that it works perfectly, but it seems to.

rather than including this in Gaim proper, I'm moving this
to Plugins. Itfrom the old format to the new. It's not quite a
patch, but it might be useful to some people. I make's not
really a plugin, either, but it's more appropriate there
than in Patches.

A few issues people should be aware of:
If you aren't mpcomplete on AIM, this won't work without
first editing the script. Maybe Matt can make these
variables specified on the command line.
If English is not your locale, this similarly won't work. It
has hard-coded English month abbreviations.

Further, I've said since the beginning that the best way to
convert logs (not that I find any compelling reason to do
so), is to write a plugin that just pipes what comes out of
one logger's "read" function into another logger's "write"
function. That way it could be entirely generic.

Thanks, I found this script very useful.

Oh by the way, you have to edit the script and change the
$account and $protocol to your account and protocol.  And
the script is attached.
