Comment(by elb):

 Ultimately, a modification to the IRC protocol plugin is the right choice.

 You'll want to look in libpurple/protocols/irc.  The hook for CTCP
 commands is irc_parse_ctcp() in libpurple/protocols/irc/parse.c.

 There is a DCC SEND implementation in there, but it has some problems.
 Feel free to use anything good out of it w.r.t. connection setup, etc.,
 but tread carefully.

 The IRC prpl is pretty straightforward in most respects.  You might want
 to look at msgs.c:irc_msg_privmsg() for reference on how to handle
 incoming messages.

 If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask here or in #pidgin
 on irc.freenode.net.  DCC CHAT is a request we do hear from time to time,
 and it would be great to receive a good patch to implement it.
