Description

It would be cool if Phergie can also work on MSN.

A protocol/class to use could be:  http://code.google.com/p/phpmsnclass/

This one works.

Due to the nature of Phergie, adding this won't be that hard I guess.

The class you cited is licensed under the GPL, which isn't entirely compatible with the LGPL under which Phergie is licensed. Additionally, if IM support was to be added, a better approach would be to use something like a libpurple binding (several permutations exist, but none are especially intuitive to use or entirely complete or well-maintained) or to use a package like bitlbee ( http://bitlbee.org) to bridge the existing IRC functionality of Phergie to other IM protocols.
