Some people may or may not recall my encyclopedia-length post on August 8
referring to theme support essentially as an afterthought to adding to the
existing .purple directory structure:
http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2007-August/002538.html

I have done nothing further on the subject since that time, but this part of the
thread has me thinking about it again.  If Adium already has a consistent, clean
XML theme format for emoticons, sounds, and status icons, it would be wise to
take this into account instead of completely reinventing the wheel.

Thoughts?
