Which version of the MSN protocol are you using?

I see you support (or will support) personal messages, which suggests  
that it's newer than P9.

Not like this helps with that problem, but I suggest you look at the  
IRC Libpurple Plugin in our trunk source code. This plug-in  
demonstrates wrapping a libpurple prpl in an Adium plug-in bundle,  
which is necessary for Adium to recognize it.

But Pidgin uses a DVCS now. You don't need commit access anyway; you  
can commit everything in your own Pidgin repository, then ask Pidgin  
developers to pull your changes and review them and, if they approve,  
merge them into Pidgin's master source.

Then again, they use Monotone, so maybe I'd rather fork, too… ;)
