packet-msn-messenger.c: In function `dissect_msnms':
packet-msn-messenger.c:58: warning: unused variable `next_token'
packet-msn-messenger.c:57: warning: unused variable `tokenlen'
packet-msn-messenger.c: At top level:
packet-msn-messenger.c:40: warning: `hf_msnms_command' defined but not used

The first two of the warnings are probably due to it being
cut-and-pasted from the POP dissector but not carving the lines into
tokens, so they can probably just be removed.  The third of those is
probably the same.

However, from

it looks as if the MSN Messenger protocol is another one of those
FTP-derived protocols with commands and responses with 3-digit error
codes, so I'll leave those in for now, as indications that it probably
*should* carve the command and response lines up in that fashion.
