User:Florian/building purplexpcom for Thunderbird

The source code is the purple/ folder of the Instantbird repository.

To build for all OSes, I pushed that code to the Thunderbird try server.

The changesets I pushed to the try server contain:

the purple/ folder of the Instantbird repository (any revision that contains the patch from Instantbird bug 1665 and its follow ups should work). Let's say I used the purple/ folder of revision 29d2a239ba24.
a patch to adapt the comm-central build system to build purple/
some very simple changes to purple/ to disable the jabber and qq libpurple protocol plugins (jabber because Thunderbird already ships by default a generic XMPP plugin and I don't want to override it, and qq because it doesn't work correctly at the moment, even for Instantbird).
when building for Thunderbird 16 and 17, some fixes to keep purplexpcom building against newer gecko versions. For Thunderbird 16 I had deal with the removal of nsILocalFile, and for Thunderbird 17 I also had to deal with the nsnull->nullptr change and the removal of the NS_OUTPARAM and NS_SCRIPTABLE macros (this patch has been posted to Instantbird bug 1606 and reviewed there.

I included in the add-on localized strings for the top 4 locales of Thunderbird (en-US, de, fr, ja) from http://hg.instantbird.org/l10n/libpurple/
