Logger doesn't find Pidgin logs for the meanwhile plugin

Description
While trying to move from Pidgin to Empathy, I noticed that Empathy did not detect my old Pidgin logs for my meanwhile based accounts. It turns out that the method used to compute the log directory for meanwhile accounts seems to be different in pidgin and empathy, so the logs are not found. Pidgin stores logs for meanwhile based accounts in
~/.purple/logs/meanwhile
but Telepathy-Logger seems to look for them in
~/.purple/logs/sametime
To work around this issue, I created a symbolic link from ~/.purple/logs/sametime to ~/.purple/logs/meanwhile and Empathy started to show my previous conversations.
