Please help, how to build the libpurple framework?

[Evan Schoenberg, M.D.]

The libidn and libmeanwhile issues are resolved locally; I haven't  
pushed yet, though, as I have related changes in progress (more on  
that soon).

Building from a fresh checkout worked for me two days ago with the -- 
disable-idn flag added... I'm not sure why your results are different.
