Pidgin plugin to ignore "X is now known as Y" messages in chat
Windows plugin download from http://eion.robbmob.com/nickchange.dll
To compile on Linux, make sure you have the 'glib-dev', 'pidgin-dev', 'purple-dev' and 'pkg-config' packages for your distro and run
gcc -Wall -fPIC nickchange.c -o nickchange.so -shared `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0 purple pidgin`
then copy the nickchange.so
file to your ~/.purple/plugins
folder.
Or run
make
which does all that for you.
