pidgin facebook plugin for opensolaris: make way for xmpp support at facebook!

I only recently noticed that the facebook plugin for opensolaris in the /contrib repository stopped working. A little digging:

$ pkg info pidgin-facebookchat
Unable to locate key '/export/home/ah115678/Downloads/OpenSolaris_extras.key.pem' for publisher 'extra.sun.com' needed to access 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra/'.

Name: pidgin-facebookchat
Summary: Facebook chat support for Pidgin
Description: Facebook chat support for Pidgin
Category: Applications/Internet
State: Installed
Publisher: contrib.opensolaris.org
Version: 1.50
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.101
Packaging Date: April 30, 2009 06:41:16 PM
Size: 94.57 kB
FMRI: pkg://contrib.opensolaris.org/pidgin-facebookchat@1.50,5.11-0.101:20090430T184116Z

so version 1.50. That might explain why... The most current version is 1.64.
I tracked down the creator of the original 1.50 package via the source juicer an contacted him to let him know. Good news: he's working on it!

Additionally, I found that facebook moved to xmpp/jabber protocol, so it's no longer needed to have a dedicated plugin...

wonderful solution I'd say
