I'm using the CVS from a week or so ago and yeah it seems to work, it 
isn't quite as stable as I'd like and often fails to update user info 
or crashes when you try to update multiple users simultaneously but 
if you don't mind a bit of instability (or just can't live with a 
semi broken ICQ) the CVS snapshot is good.
