So I can understand the implementation a little better. Neither Adium 
or libpurple are designed to help you in your implementing your 
protocol, right?

What I mean by this is I could not find any API for opening a socket, 
sending authentication information, parsing the responses, etc.

I do see the API to wrap those events in callbacks so Adium/Libpurple 
can deal with them.

Is this correct?
