Hopefully fixes #13298, the bug about not being able to add MSN buddies.
Here's what I think is happening:
1. Before we add the buddy we issue an FQY request to ask the server what
network the username is for (either normal MSN or Yahoo)
2. When we get the response we add the buddy to our buddy list with the
network ID given to us by the server
3. For some reason the server is now returning a network ID of 0 ("unknown")
instead of 1 ("normal MSN") for normal passport buddies, and we bail out
when we encounter this. QuLogic thinks the server used to return 1 in
this case.
My change is to just not bail out if the FQY response has network ID 0.
Instead of treat 0 as 1 and continue with the add. It looks like our
SOAP request to add the buddy to our address book will fail a big further
down the road if the buddy doesn't exist--so we're still protecting
against that.

Purple, Pidgin and Finch ======================== See AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT for the list of contributors. libpurple is a library intended to be used by programmers seeking to write an IM client that connects to many IM networks. It supports AIM, ICQ, XMPP, MSN and Yahoo!, among others. Pidgin is an graphical IM client written in C which uses the GTK+ toolkit. Finch is a text-based IM client written in C which uses the ncurses toolkit. These programs are not endorsed by, nor affiliated with, AOL nor any other company in any way. BUILD ===== Read the 'INSTALL' file for more detailed directions. These programs use the standard ./configure ; make. You need to use gmake, BSD make probably won't work. Remember, run ./configure --help to see what build options are available. In order to compile Pidgin you need to have GTK+ 2.0 installed (as well as the development files!). The configure script will fail if you don't. If you don't have GTK+ 2.0 installed, you should install it using your distribution's package management tools. For sound support, you also need gstreamer 0.10 or higher. For spellchecking support, you need libgtkspell (http://gtkspell.sf.net/). Your distro of choice probably already includes these, just be sure to install the development packages. RUN === You should run 'make install' as root to make sure plugins and other files get installed into locations they want to be in. Once you've done that, you only need to run 'pidgin' or 'finch'. To get started, simply add a new account. If you come across a bug, please report it at: http://pidgin.im PLUGINS ======= If you do not wish to enable the plugin support within Purple, run the ./configure script with the --disable-plugins option and recompile your source code. This will prevent the ability to load plugins. 'make install' puts the plugins in $PREFIX/lib/purple (PREFIX being what you specified when you ./configure'd - it defaults to /usr/local). Purple looks for the plugins in that directory by default. Plugins can be installed per-user in ~/.purple/plugins as well. Pidgin and Finch also look in $PREFIX/lib/pidgin and $PREFIX/lib/finch for UI-specific, respectively. To build a plugin from a .c file, put it in the plugins/ directory in the source and run 'make filename.so', e.g. if you have the .c file 'kickass.c', put it in the plugins/ directory, and from that directory, run 'make kickass.so'.
