Source code for the loadavatars (avatar service plugin) is available via
anonymous SVN at:

http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/mimplugins/trunk/avs/

You need a SVN client to access this, I recommend TortoiseSVN for Windows which
is easy to use and provides a good UI.

To compile, you need a complete checkout of Mirandas main source repository and
Visual C++ 6 with service pack 6 + the latest platform SDK installed.

Project files are provided for Visual C++ 6 and Visual Studio 2005 (aka Visual
C++ 8). The sources may compile with Mingw32/GCC, but this is not supported at
this time.

This plugin for the Miranda Instant messenger is licensed under the GNU 
General Public License Version 2.

The code was written by:

Nightwish (silvercircle@gmail.com) (original idea and implementation)
Pescuma (major rewrite for version 0.0.2.0 with new request/poll code and most of
         the image manipulation utilities).
