[Adium-devl] MSNp15 (libpurple im.pidgin.pidgin) in Adium 1.3.x

[Evan Schoenberg]

I'd like to propose moving Adium 1.3.x back to im.pidgin.pidgin for  
MSN connectivity – that is, MSNp15 – for Adium 1.3.2.  libpurple 2.5.1  
fixed the immediate influx of msnp15 problems, and what we're left  
with now is that it appears to be the better choice looking forward.   
As always, working with the library with a wider audience helps us  
with bug reporting and development, and msn-pecan continues to have  
problems sending display pictures and doesn't support sending offline  
messages (which also means sending to invisible users).

I'd prefer that our side of helping to debug (and fix!) problems be  
directed towards the ultimate code base we'll be utilizing.

The primary known issue with msnp15 is that apparently it sends a lot  
of data at signon, which means some users on slow connections end up  
getting timeout errors.

N.B.: I don't use MSN at all.  If you're using trunk and MSN, I'd like  
to hear about any other concerns you have.
