The "adium-specific wrapper" is pretty trivial to write - much more so  
than figuring out a way to implement the complete pidgin UI callbacks  
such that we offer them to plugins but don't present Pidgin-style UI  
in every situation that currently we provide our own (read: the latter  
is almost certainly not going to happen).
