From: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe at gmx.de>

Pidgin is a free and open source instant multiprotocol (ICQ, IRC, Jabber
...) messenger.

Finch is a ncurses based console version of pidgin.

For more information visit http://pidgin.im

This patch adds support for Finch 2.7.1 to the buildroot buildsystem.
Finch is compiled with support for ICQ, IRC and Jabber;
However other protocols might be added to the script too / script can be
converted to a more modular style.

Tested on and compiled with atmel ngw100_defconfig.
