Inside your wrapper to get the libpurple function to load, you'd
likely need to add some objective-C support code to get this to work
with Adium.

Adium posts the NSNotification Chat_BecameActive whenever a chat
becomes active. At this point, (and only this point; it's cleared in
the next run loop) the [chat unviewedContentCount] will return the
number of unread messages previously in the chat.

You can get the PurpleConversation for the AIChat by using the [[chat
identifier] pointerValue], which (if non-NULL) is the
PurpleConversation.

I do not believe this will be possible in straight C just interacting
with libpurple, however.
