bz2 change: Default for the source download on the pidgin website and is 
what guix refresh fetched for me.


THe snippet was needed for an older patch (touching configure.ac) which 
got removed in commit 89f4f0baa9ff956ba0efe9ec20e1805f01230a54.
There was a comment "Remove the snippet and bootstrapping native inputs 
together with this patch" resp. "Remove stale generated file after 
applying pidgin-libnm.patch.".

Should configure scripts always be regenerated when building from tarballs?

ALso noticed some other things later today:
- no status icon : --enable-trayicon-compat
-  nss-certs:  --with-system-ssl-certs=<dir>
- finch.pc requires libgnt. Should that also be propagated?
- Propagating gtk2 (required by pidgin.pc) conflicts in my home 
environments with nm-applet propagating gtk3.
- python2
