Yes, me.  It's only an MSN library so for, but I'm talking to someone
who has offered to help with the Jabber end.  The library only supports
MSNP7 right now, but that's going to change.

Frankly, the existing MSN transport is a mess, and I'd rather start over
from scratch.

That's one way of looking at it :)
My understanding is that the move from MSNP7 to MSNP8 involves lots of
little changes (e.g. an extra value passed with a command here and there)
, but nothing earth-shattering.
