[Telepathy] Accessing the ContactList for a connection.

[Michael R. Head]

I put a number of questions into my email. The ones at the bottom might
have been missed, so I'm stripping all the extra fluff around them and
clarifying.

Is there a replacement for ContactInfo that I'm missing somewhere?

I've mostly been looking through the empathy source and libtelepathy
headers (and performing trial and error by calling g_object_unref()
unless I get a warning at runtime) to figure out what I can. Am I
missing some good informative resource on how to answer these questions
myself?

OUT_arg1 is is an array of strings. Are they meant to be freed by the
caller, or are they managed elsewhere? (or, a better question, how can I
figure out what needs to be g_free()ed, what needs to be
g_object_unref()ed and what needs to be left alone?)
