I have renamed the package to 'libmsn0.1'.

Upstream is planning some changes that might affect the API and might
require soversion changes. I used just 'libmsn' not to flood the
archive with 'libmsn0.1', 'libmsn0.2', etc packages in the near
future.

Upstream just added following text to their license:

   In addition to the license terms of the GNU General Public License,
   as copied below, the developers of libmsn give you permission
   to link the code of this release of libmsn with the OpenSSL project's
   "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it that use the same
   license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute the linked executables.
   You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the
   code used other than "OpenSSL". If you modify this file, you may
   extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not
   obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
   statement from your version.

So I'm packaging libmsn 4.0 beta 1 + svn rev. 69

Thanks your for reviewing the package. A new version will be available
soon in mentors.
