Description
Currently, the code uses the Mac OS X utility plutil to convert the binary plist format to XML, so we can read it. plutil is only for Mac OS X, and someone on GNU/Linux, Windows, etc might want to import their Adium files on their new non-Mac OS X machine.
python-biplist should be able to do this conversion for us in a cross-platform, pure python way:

only run Apple's plutil if actually running on Mac OS X
This lets us run the test script on GNU/Linux, since we include an XML
Accounts.plist file which does not need to be converted.
