Comment(by ao2):

 Just attached [http://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/12629
 /purple_ipv6_link-local_addresses.0.patch this patch] to verify the
 theory, with this change I can now chat using link-local ipv6 addresses.
 The scope_id is hardcoded for now, the right value can be derived from the
 avahi query but I am not comfortable enough with purple code yet to code a
 proper way of doing it? Anyone willing to help?

 Thanks,
    Antonio
