Skype login not working -- the dreaded Magic T-Value

[Eion Robb]

Hi Phil,

The issue to follow for this is
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/issues/656
There's a dll with a fix buried near the bottom of the comments, but the
gist is that using the 'Use alternative login method' setting is always
preferred, since it's less unreliable (although not everyone has been able
to use it because of an 'profile accrual required' error message -
something to do with not having a skype+microsoft merged account)

Just waiting to get more feedback on that fix before I push out a 1.7 of
the plugin later tonight

Cheers,
Eion
