[Adium-devl] XIB concern

[Ofri]

AppKit reads compiled nibs so it is possible to read and use them  
(last time I checked nibs are just a bunch of archived objects). I  
guess the reason IB refuses to read them is that the reduced  
information will force doing some guessing which may not be accurate  
(like given no title property the real object knows what to do, but IB  
doesn't).
