And now what to do?

Ok....
I look at the link (http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#VoiceandVideoMicrophonean...) and from what I understand I've got the following files:
- gst-plugins-farsight-0.12.6.tar.gz
- farsight2-0.0.8.tar.gz
....and what now?
Where to extract the content of those?
Where in my Portable Pigdin directory folder should I put that (G:\PortableApps\PidginPortable\)???
Thank's.
