[olug] im logging

[DYNATRON tech]

i have used pidgin (briefly), and i recommend it to customers as an IM
alternative with low system overhead (compared to the alternatives). many
features, including the one that you have inquired about.

it used to be called GAIM, and it supports all major IM services.
