From their FAQ. http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q11

How do I use MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu(GG), Napster, or Zephyr?

Use the Account Editor (Tools->Accounts, or the Accounts button on the start screen) to add the account of the appropriate messaging service. The protocol plugin is loaded automatically.

- I have no idea when .76 will be released

As stated Yahoo doesn't work in the current release so don't waste your time. When you go to Tools-Accounts-Add, click the drop down menu for say MSN protocol. In the screen name box you have to use your passport account name. If you used hotmail it would be yourname@hotmail.com. Then put in the password for that account and then under that the name you want your friends to see you as on MSN, alias ya know. That's it.
