That is correct.

That is not necessary. The only two files from Adium's source you need are ssl.c and ssl_cdsa.c
(see http://hg.adium.im/adium/file/tip/Plugins/Purple%20Service/libpurple_extensions/ssl.c and
http://hg.adium.im/adium/file/tip/Plugins/Purple%20Service/libpurple_extensions/ssl-cdsa.c). You should
be able to use these files without any other parts of Adium's source code (they only depend on libpurple
itself and system frameworks).

Here: http://hg.adium.im/adium/file/89eb0d28dc0f/Plugins/Purple%20Service/adiumPurpleCore.m#l73
you can see how these are loaded.

You could, but AdiumLibpurple.framework is linked against Adium.framework, AIUtilities, etc.
You'd bring in a lot more code then you'd need.
