Problems building libpurple dependencies

Those build scripts are for 1.4 and earlier.  If you're working off the
adium-1.4 branch, there's a problem.

If you're working on the 1.5 repository, however, there's a new build script
in "Dependencies/"  that we're using to build the 32/64 libpurple.


...we should probably document that somewhere.
