Nope, libyahoo is still protocol version 1, without notify and it
doesn't work in some countries.

And this is version 2 and the login is already not working on india.

I had a full patch to kopete to version 2 with status and message
send/receive, against a copy of jabber directory, but I've decided to
really learn the kopete architecture and start from the beginning
(well, I'm still copying from jabber, but method by method and seeing
how it works).

Then I got access to new login code, but I still had no time to convert
it from c (gtk) to c++ (kde).

Please give me some more time to recode the base (message send and
receive) and then I'd apreciate help with kopete architecture, 
especially the new KMM patches
