That's good news!!

Probably we haven't seen those patches, otherwise we would have
included them! And many of them fix the Yahoo protocol which is, IMHO,
the oldest and less secure protocol implementation that we have.

I modified the MSN protocol to fix some issues (which are still
present in the 3.2 release of libmsn) and to update it to use MSNP9.
If I should ever have the time, I'll merge my fixes with libmsn-3.2,
but I can't make any promises about when that will happen...

Thank you!
