Hey Evan,

rekkanoryo told me clientlogin is now required to use SSL for ICQ. Then I 
thought, this is newer, it is on by default in Pidgin and working there 
reliably, so we probably want it on for AIM too. I might very well have been 
wrong in that, I did (and really still do) not know at all how they actually 
work and I do not know what issues it had in the past.

So I changed it intentionally, but if this is broken because of that then we 
definitely should change it to only apply it for ICQ.

Thijs
