up the protocol version, handle the new buddy list message (which i renamed the service for again), pretend auth type 2 is auth type 1,
note when a buddy is an msn buddy, and possibly even send msn buddy messages correctly.
I haven't really tested if everything works with the new protocol version, but I can always lower it again if bad things start happening and I don't have time to
fix them before the release.
I don't know if sending messages to msn users really works or not, it seems to be down server side at the moment. Someone test when msn gets it working again :P
There's no way to add msn contacts to your yahoo account from within gaim. Not sure how we'll do the UI for that.

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
