Since there is no way to do this without changing the protocol plug-in,
I just added an option to the privacy settings. If it is set,
purple_auth_dontgrant_msgprompt just calls oscar_free_name_data,
otherwise it will still prompt for a message text and send it back.
(BTW, should I submit a patch or is this considered too exotic for
general use?)

To me this appears to be the best short term solution because it does
not need any changes to the API. In the long term it would be nice if
purple_account_request_authorization would call the callback functions
with the result of the account-authorization-requested signal as a
parameter.
