[Adium-devl] Merging Chat's and IM's

[Jordan Schelew]

Not only that, but apparently Microsoft is also planning to change MSN  
so that it's MUC is actually more like a separate group chat. Despite  
that, I don't think it really matters in that, even if technically  
they are completely different things, we can still emulate the one-on- 
one turns into MUC thing in order to make it conceptually simpler for  
our users...
