Changes (by jeff):

  * owner:  => datallah
  * milestone:  => 3.0.0

Comment:

 Changes _PurpleAccount structure and there aren't any reserved fields to
 use instead (correct me if I'm wrong), so this would have to wait for
 3.0.0. Reassigning to datallah to hold until 3.0.0 (hope that's okay).

 Once accepted, at least the following prpls can be improved to use
 servalias:

  * MySpaceIM: show username instead of email, currently sets local alias
 if not already set
  * MSN: sets friendly alias received from server, includes helpful notes
 such as "(E-mail Address Not Verified)"
  * IRC: when changing nick, but this one is less clear-cut; I think it may
 make sense to update PurpleAccount's username field because you might want
 to login using the new nickname next time you use Pidgin (but maybe not).
