[Telepathy] Libtelepathy/Telepathy-glib usage

[Travis Reitter]

Another major question,

I've seen several functions called, but never defined. For instance,

tp_connmgr_new_connection() calls tp_connmgr_request_connection() -- but
that isn't in the source tree.

Is there a set of functions defined in another package?

Thanks,
-Travis
