I've moved my main email address from Hotmail to Google for the free IMAP connection they provide, but the final stage has stumped me.

Adium has no Import/Export functionality, and I can't figure out how to import my MSN contacts into a Google Talk account.

Using Messenger for Mac I've exported my contacts as a *.ctt file (just seems to be an XML file), but I can't use Messenger for Mac to log in to a Google Talk account, Adium can do it but can't use the contacts file and Pidgin doesn't have a stable version I don't have to compile myself; bit stuck?

Any ideas?
 
I figured a slightly simpler way round it, since Google Talk doesn't seem to support adding MSN contacts;

I signed up my Googlemail account for an MSN Passport and used Messenger for Mac import/export to bounce the contacts from one account to another.

Now Adium can log into MSN using my Googlemail account with all my contacts from my previous Hotmail account :)
