remove some of the outdated todo stuff. most of the TODO file was handled as we worked on 2.0.0. Much of the .todo files was badly out of date, some of it completed, some of it no longer applies though not exactly completed, and other parts of it really rather debatable. For msn in particular I assume that the new msn code will addres much of it. for zephyr in particular, the bigger question than its .todo file is having a prpl distributed that we do not have a maintainer for. I left the jabber, oscar, and win32 .todo files. I am unsure which parts of them ought to be transfered to trac. references #157
