We're willing to compromise on the configuration file, that's a  
huuuuge deal. We might even be able to work around having to have  
the .adiumMessageStyle extension, so you guys don't need to have that  
on *NIX, where it doesn't mean anything.

David is the guy who's managing this area of Adium, I think he may  
have some thoughts on this. What do you think, David?
