ah ok, didn't know we wanted value based KMs. i still believe allowing KM 
subclasses isn't really that heavyweight (even if it's got a vtbl). but i do 
foresee other problems, like the creation the message (we'd need a factory 
method provided by the plugin... would be a bit more complex).

that's true as long as we don't use subclasses :-). ok, let's postpone this 
discussion.

KMPluginData (or whatever approach is chosen). though if you're busy with MSN 
chats, somebody else should be doing it...
