Pidgin-LaTeX-0.2 released

More changes from Florian Delizy:

Uses the smiley system instead of the img system to display formula
This has interesting enhancements:

- First smiley text stays available for copy, hence copy of the image,
copies the smiley text
- Second since smileys are cached, (using a checksum hash table), latex
formula are not calculated twice
- Third, this allows future implementation to actually send the custom
smiley to the peer (to be done)
- Forth, the buffer string does not get modified (simpler parsing
function)

    Pidgin-latex is not working. lsof shows LaTeX.so loaded into memory. I’d like to communicate to someone about this through irc, etc. Is there an irc channel for this plugin?

    the .so of this pidgin-latex plugin is called pidgin-latex.so. Maybe you use the other LaTeX plugin instead (from http://pidgin-latex.sf.net)
