I scp'ed msmsgs.exe from Windows Messenger 4.7, which comes on my work's
WinXP box (yeah, i know :-( ) to a Real Computer with `strings` and
here's the result :

[colin@chloe ~/download]$ strings msmsgs.exe | grep MSNP
MSNP7 MSNP6 MSNP5 MSNP4 CVR0
MSNP4
MSNP5
MSNP6
MSNP7

Thanks to Meredydd's work on libmsn2, both eb-lite and ayttm do support
MSNP7. Our MSN modules should still be fine for a while.
We'll have to work hard when they'll switch to MSNP8 or MSNP9. Hopefully
that won't be too soon!
