Using Pidgin

      * If you want to use a language other than en_US, create a `U:\Programs\Pidgin\locale` directory and copy any language directories that you want from your installed `Pidgin\locale` directory.
      * Copy the contents of your root installed Pidgin directory except `pidgin.exe`, `pidgin-uninst.exe`, and if you don't want spell-checking support, `libgtkspell.dll`.
-     * Download [/static/win32/pidgin-portable.exe pidgin-portable.exe] (use [/static/win32/gaim-portable.exe gaim-portable.exe] for 2.0.0beta4-6 or [/static/win32/gaim-portable.exe.pre200b4 this version] for versions older than 2.0.0beta4) and put it in `U:\Programs\Pidgin`. The file uses the same source as the standard `pidgin.exe`, the difference being that when it was compiled `PORTABLE` was defined which causes some of the initialization to be done differently.
+     * For version 2.1.0 and newer, copy `pidgin.exe` from your Pidgin directory to `U:\Programs\Pidgin` and rename it to `pidgin-portable.exe`; this will cause it to run in "portable mode" to work correctly with this configuration.  Alternatively, you can specify the `--portable-mode` argument to enable the same behavior.
+       * The older custom [/static/win32/pidgin-portable.exe pidgin-portable.exe] is currently still available (use [/static/win32/gaim-portable.exe gaim-portable.exe] for 2.0.0beta4-6 or [/static/win32/gaim-portable.exe.pre200b4 this version] for versions older than 2.0.0beta4).
    * In the same spirit, create a minimal GTK+ runtime installation from your GTK+ installation.
      * Copy the `bin` and `etc` directories to your `U:\Programs\GTK` directory.
