The AIM prpl should return the string "hiptop" when the prpl_info's 
list_emblem function is
called. There are a couple other special emblems as well, such as for 
bots. If AdiumX shows
something to signify that a buddy in the buddylist is a bot, it is 
likely that a HipTop notification
could be placed in the same region depending on the return value of 
list_emblem.
