I have no problem with this being added to libpurple, but this was 
brought up on standards-jig in October, and nothing ever really came of 
it.  I'd like to see the discussion resurrected, and others at least 
showing interest before we go implementing it.

Forcing it to be a plugin seems a touch overkill, there's nothing wrong 
with having it in libpurple proper.
