Comment(by olivier):

 I understand and totally agree, but I've got a different approach. I try
 to make people switch to another, better, MSN client (instead of Live
 Messenger) and then convince them to have an XMPP account, that's easy
 because pidgin supports multiple accounts and protocols. I also have
 friends who would switch to Linux instead of Windows, but the only show-
 stopper is "what ? there's no colored nicks in msn ?".

 People will always use crappy things. I can't convince all my
 friends/familiy to switch to another IM protocol, or (for example) to not
 use this commercial thing called facebook. With this "msn plus nicks"
 plugin, pidgin will be more attractive to the msn "plus" userbase, and
 that's a progress.

 Do you have a more recent snapshot than the attached 0.0.2 sources, so
 that the community can continue developing it ?
