[Gaim-cabal] Libgaim targets and restructure

[Evan S. <ev...@dr...>]

As mentioned by others, it'd be good to have the libgaim target part  
of Sadrul's SoC project in 2.0.0.

I have locally the patch which Sadrul and Gary constructed to do the  
restructure. The resulting tree is:
core/
	plugins/
gtk/
	plugins/
	pixmaps/
	sounds/
	win32/
console/
	plugins/

In a conversation about this, Sadrul said to me:
"This would both do the tree-restructure, and make the appropriate  
targets for libgaim, gaim (ala gtkgaim) and gntgaim. The script and  
the patches were then tested by a few people, including Luke, and it  
was working.

There were some other concerns which I didn't really 'get'. Ethan,  
Luke and Gary talked over it, and decided on something. I am not sure  
what exactly the decision was, but I haven't heard anything on this,  
nor have seen anyone working on this since then."

One concern I have is that such a move makes all local changes on all  
trees slightly problematic... Folks will need to something along the  
lines of
svn diff -r version_before_move > myChanges.diff
patch -p0 < myChanges.diff

which isn't difficult, but is obnoxious.

Merges to an old branch would also be difficult -- definitely will be  
best if the decision is to release off trunk rather than the 2.0.0  
branch.
