That's a great idea.  Since the libpurple versioning sanely based on  
the consistency of its API, by definition all 0.3.x Libpurples are  
intercompatible, and all 0.4.x or 1.y.z versions are probably (though  
not necessarily, since it could be an incompatible API change which  
isn't one used by the plugin) incompatible.
