[Adium-devl] Kopete Message styles and Adium

[Colin Barrett]

I think probably the biggest obstacle for the Kopete messages styles  
is that they don't currently require an Info.plist.

Perhaps we could come up with some other sort of ini-type file that  
would be useful to them, so Kopete style authors will use it?
