[plug] MSN + WINE = not working

[Caleb Duggan]

I am currently using GAIM but I would rather use the MSN program mostly  
because of games, nudges and winks.  Im not too fussed about nudges and  
winks but I would like the games because I often play them while in  
windows....but its a bit awkward to reboot just to play a short msn  
game(or open up VMware). Im suprised that there isnt any MSN messenger  
clients for linux without msn games(or none that I can find).
