 Your goal is to compare what libpurple does at a protocol level with what the ''official Windows ICQ client'' does, figure out where it differs, and to repair libpurple's implementation, extending Pidgin's, Finch's, and libpurple's capabilities where possible or necessary.

+As an optional part of this project, consider adopting the patch on #365 for multiple file transfers and improve it per rlaager's suggestions in the ticket's comments.  Of course, credit needs to go to the original author as well.  This patch isn't directly related to ICQ, but it can help Pidgin users who use AIM and ICQ and have buddies using the official Windows AIM client.
