[OTR-dev] Building an OTR plugin for Trillian 3.1

[Twan Fox]

I had attempted to use that visual studio environment, but when I tried, it
was a little less than intuitive to set up, and the build attempt I made was
all horktified (ie: it be broke). I've been using Visual Studio .NET 2003
and the environments given were at best Visual Studio 6. If there is more
documentation on how to use that environment, I'm more than willing to use
an already set up project to kick this thing off. I suppose I can tinker
with it more. Also just contemplating building the environment from scratch
in VS.NET 2k3 for sanity sake, if I can figure out what must be done for it.
