[Adium-devl] Adium iPhone

[Ofri]

I must say I'll be surprised if libpurple is going -not- going to need  
some optimization before being useable on the iPhone. That being said,  
having libpurple optimized for mobile environment is probably going to  
be very useful in the future for many people (Android, etc :), and  
should be a challenging task.
