Initial import of empathy-2.24.1:

Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets,
and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and
Nokia's Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is
to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk
libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be
embeded into any GNOME application.
