I know it is much to ask but I really would like to have support for the steam
friends protocol. This is used by the steam game platform and can be used from
within steam games. Because I have friends that tend to only use steam this
would help me to continue to talk to them (even though they have icq accounts
but they don't use them anymore!).

Here is some basic information about the protocol:
http://imfreedom.org/wiki/Steam_Friends

Insanely they really reinvent the wheel and implement a tcp like protocol on
top of udp. Only this basic protocol, the encryption setup (RSA, AES, CBC) and
the login process seems to be reverse engineered.

I never done such a thing (reverse engineering and implementation of real world
(lowlevel!) network protocols) but maybe if(!) I have time in summer I take a
look at it. (But probably not.)
