[gaim-migrate @ 1355]
ok. messages work. transports sort of work (you'll sign into them if you have them, but you won't see them and you can't add or remove them). resource is not a part of buddy's names, which is a very very big plus, since it means things will work incredibly well now. at some point the resource may be added back somehow but if it is it won't be part of the name.

Note:

The plugins that come with GAIM are for educational purposes only.
We have released them hoping to give you guys enough information to
go on.  We'll continue developing them in our free time but we ask you
to do the same.  If you have any suggestions for them, let us know.

If you do not wish to enable the plugin support within GAIM, run the
./configure script with the --disable-plugins option and recompile your
source code.  This will prevent the ability to load plugins.

'make install' puts the plugins in $PREFIX/lib/gaim (PREFIX being what you
specified when you ./configure'd - it defaults to /usr/local). Gaim looks
for the plugins in that directory by default, but they do not have to be
there to use them. Also, plugins have a .so extension by default, though
they do not have to.

Enjoy and Happy Hacking!
