I've added tentative support for the GLib main loop to Adium locally;  
my initial assessment is that running it with no input sources is  
cheap and harmless, so I'm okay with it so far. We'll see how it does  
in actual usage...

As far as I know, we need for msn-pecan to support configure for  
determination of its makefile to be able to build it easily for use in  
Adium, as we have to actually build with cross-compilation (PowerPC  
and Intel processors).  I don't want to ask the wrong question... so  
do you know of a way to do so with the current Makefile setup you're  
using? If not, that'll be the next step, I think, and it would be a  
good thing for the distribution overall most likely.
