A Pidgin plugin for Growl for Windows

I've been fond of Growl on the mac as a pretty standard notification mechanism.

Growl for Windows is a project that uses the same protocols to do notification on the windows side.

After a discussion in the forums, someone has finally implemented support for one of the last core apps that was missing for a long time: pidgin.

Previously there was a snarl->growl bridge called gnarly that would notify growl of messages, but it's nice to see that such a popular app is getting some attention :).

W00t for open source :).
