It's not irrelevant as 0.1 is a very low number. If it were 1.0, then you've
accomplished at least a decent amount of things you set out to accomplish,
with a number like 0.1 it doesn't instill a lot of confidence.

Would it be better to wait until pecan can plug into libpurple? Are there
any more features/bug fixes to the core connectivity to MSN that this
library does not have which the msn library in libpurple has?
