 Yeah, definitely, but that would be a pretty big change. All the aim_ssi_*
 routines would have their signatures change cause you'd need to pass the
 hashtable.[[BR]]
 I made a change to "struct aim_ssi_item" and added a key that i set to the
 normalized string of name when it's added (or changed) so i don't have to
 call aim_sncmp() each time it's looked up but i kept the linear
 search.[[BR]]
 In the same way I could add a pointer to the hashtable to "struct
 aim_ssi_item" but that's kind of a waste and a hack. [[BR]]
 If you have suggestions where to put (and how to reference) the
 hashtable(s), that'd be great.
