Our current main branch of development does contain a prpl function
'get_max_message_size'. It's not defined for all protocol plugins, and
where it IS defined, it's not necessarily correct. In fact, most of
the values we're using were taken from the OTR plugin. The nature of
using undocumented proprietary protocols is such that it's not easy to
know the maximum message size. It's usually determined through trial
and error.

There is no ETA for libpurple 3.0
