I resemble that remark! ;)

Actually, the new Yahoo-t could be ripped up pretty quickly. The 
protocol part of the code is from Gaim, (the Gaim Yahoo plugin) and the 
function names map very well between Gaim plugins.

Minor changes to the Yahoo-t, and the Gaim MSN plugin, and we could have 
a very fast solution. All of the XMPP handling is there, it is a matter 
of changing the function calls into the Gaim MSN plugin code.

Of course, in my copious free time .... :(
