No responses from the existing project owner, so decided to create a fork pidgin-musictracker
Creating a project at google-code and cloning the existing svn repository is surprisingly painless.
Checkin the changes from my patch, and then do some scripting work to automate the release process. Existing makefile omits the windows installer generation stage, so add rules for that (pleased to find that nsis Gentoo package exists, so I can build the windows installer under linux)
This scripting also generates development snapshots
