Sure. People have started work on Trillian and Miranda plugins for OTR.
Most OTR developers are not Windows users, so this item is a bit up to
those who have an interest in not switching to gaim.exe.

To me, the proxy is useless because it does not support MSN, and that's
the number 1 protocol used in Europe. It's only North America where everyone
uses AIM/ICQ. If the proxy supported MSN, I would sit down and make a nice
otrproxy installer for Windows with a small note on how to use it.

And if we are voicing our wishes, gaim-tui support and otrproxy with ncurses
support would rock too. And someone should fix proxy support in bitlbee so
it works with otrproxy.
