[jdev] roster-subsync

[Hernan Tylim]

Hi,

I am currently forced to make neos work right with pyMSN so I don't 
really have much choice. Which is bad, because I was kind of already 
supporting Roster Item Exchange :) well, not JEP-0144 but the deprecated 
JEP-0093.

Thanks for all your answers.

Regards,
Hernán
