Comment (by bornmw):

 Here's what the person who developed Miranda Sametime plugin says.
 I think this means that he used Meanwhile lib as it was and it just
 worked.

 > I had to do a lot of messing around with the library to get it working
 for windows - the whole 'glib cross-platform' thing is a bit of a myth :)
 > I don't remember changing the way anything works in the library tho.
 > I have often recomended that people change their client-id in the
 miranda options when these sorts of issues occur - it seems that sometimes
 the servers change their behaviour based on the client id. AFAIK, the
 pidgin plugin doesn't offer that option. Perhaps that has something to do
 with it?
