I've found the following link to the programer's homepage:
http://www.myjobspace.co.nz/images/pidgin/
You can read a brief description of the plugin and how you have to
install it, and you get links for downloading as well.
But I've to warn you: Setting the whole thing up is not that easy,
because you've to install and preconfigure Skype, and the question is:
How can we do this? I remember having read that it is possible to edit
the config file manually, since it is an xml file; but anyway it seems a
bit tricky.
And, of course, Skype has to be started when using the plugin. On the
mentioned homepage there's an issue reported, where Pidgin crashes when
Skype is not running. Not that convenient, since one might use Pidgin
without Skype sometimes.
