Fix for GaimLog.Striptags()

[Arun Raghavan <arunissatan yahoo com>]

Hi,
The GaimLog.StripTags() method loops forever if a line in the log has a
"<" that isn't matched by a ">". Here's a one-liner to fix this - it
retains the rest of the line starting at the unmatched "<".

One concern here is that we're ignoring everthing in between "<" and
">", which is not good. A line like:

------------------------
dude1: e < mc^2+1. I *really* want the text here indexed. e > mc^2+1
dude2: Cool! I want that indexed too!
------------------------

would be reduced to:

------------------------
dude1: e  mc^2+1
dude2: Cool! I want that indexed too! But I can't. I'm so unhappy.
------------------------

Maybe a patch to Gaim to write "<" and ">" when input by the user as
"&lt;" and "&gt;" would be good. Any foreseeable objections from the
Gaim folks?

Whee! Hackfest!
Arun
