[gaim-migrate @ 3945]
Rewrote show_im_dialog and show_info_dialog.

Ported to gtkspell2. Gtkspell2 is a library available from
gtkspell.sf.net. It requires the pspell library. If you want the
"highlight misspelled words" feature to work, you must have this
library installed. If installed, configure will detect it and link
against it.

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant
------------------------------------

General
-------
- Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths

- Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf

- Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME")

- Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to
  be included.

PLUGINS & PROTOS
----------------

- G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the
  scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init)

- G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your
  dynamic library. (E.G. connections)

  (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
