Butterfly won't work at all with Empathy 3.4 so my migration branch will be merged before the end of the week (string/ui freeze). The MC one should be as well,
but we still have the problem of old logs.

The proper fix is to change logger's API to make it "login id" centric rather than account centric, but that's a pretty big change and I don't see it happening
now.

So either we decide to not care about old logs (losing logs is a less bad solution than keeping an unworking TP account) or do a hack to continue displaying
them. The only hack I can think of is storing the information about the old account in the new one (Account.Replace or Account.Misc) and use it in liblogger
when fetching logs.

Either way is fine for me, MSN has always been a second class citizen in Empathy so maybe loosing logs (from an end user pov, log file won't be deleleted)
isn't *that* bad after all.
