libpurple.framework and SSL Support

[Evan Schoenberg, M.D.]

Adium uses the Security framework and CDSA via an libpurple extension (ssl-cdsa.c).  Search the Adium source tree for purple_init_ssl_plugin() and purple_init_ssl_cdsa_plugin(), add ssl.c and ss-cdsa.c, and be sure to define HAVE_CDSA in your preprocessor defines on the target and link against Security.framework.

I also set so those frameworks will be copied to the app bundle. I copied all the headers from Adium's repo so I could build my app. All went fine… until this function:
