Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that you had the same idea and implemented it...
because otherwise, I might have had to do it myself, which would just be more
work. ;-)

Well, as directly as Perl ever can. ;-)
But I get your point. The idea of being able to load the plugins "as-is" is
exactly what I would try to achieve. That way, all the effort goes into
building the transport once... then when a protocol updates, you just install
the new GAIM from ports or portage, or whatever takes your fancy. Libraries
pick up, everything works, everybody's happy. :-)
