VKontakte has decided to drop XMPP support. http://vk.com/help.php?page=jabber states "XMPP protocol support has been discontinued! Please use the website and the official mobile clients." Therefore, its support should be removed from Instantbird.

I think this will be the first time we drop a protocol that wasn't distributed as an add-on. I wonder if we need to polish a bit the 'unknown protocol' handler for 1.5.

It would be more awesome if someone were to add support for their custom API: http://vk.com/dev/methods

This gets half-way through the OAuth progress, but then ends up at an error page. I can't really figure out why (manually going through the URLs in a browser seems to work...). Any ideas would be appreciated.

This removes VK, I haven't actually tested it fully since my build doesn't seem to work after doing this (it's complaining about the vk directory not existing anymore...I'm pretty sure this is just me not understanding what the deal is with rebuilding now that we have moz.build).

Seems fine, thanks.

Note: during the review I wondered if we needed to add the .js and .manifest files to removed-files.in; but all these JS components are part of omni.ja these days, so I don't think we need to explicitly remove them.
