My understanding is that
1) The effort is pretty much stalled... though on the other hand, I  
know that some random user on the Adium forums had it working for the  
only feature of MSNP11 a lot of folks care about, which is the  
'personal messages' which add status message support to MSN.  His  
patch was ugly, though, and then his boss screamed at him for working  
on GPL code and now he won't answer emails asking for the source even  
though he released a binary including it.  *shrug*
2) The code is for MSNP11, which isn't the same as the current  
version, MSNP13
3) We were going to make one of the criteria for the project be that  
the new implementation should have modern MSN file transfer
