Note that Thomas Butter was a Google Summer of Code student for Pidgin
a number of years back, so it is perfectly valid for his name to be in
Pidgin-related code. I haven't looked at the code in question, so I
don't know what exactly the circumstances are, but I did want to make
sure Thomas gets credit where credit is due. He's one of us. :-)
