Paul was a little confused and thought something would have to be added to Asterisk. But, with that said, the source to chan_skype.c is available in the download and could be modified (just the library for interacting with the underlying Skype library is binary-only). Only chan_skype.c would need to be modified for messaging API support. Basically, just modify new_chat_message() to allocate a new ast_msg, fill in the appropriate values with the ast_msg_set_set_() functions, and then call ast_msg_queue() on it.
