 #2802 implements msim_normalize, so you can IM user 6221 and a buddy
 window will popup named "tom", but only if you have tom on your buddy
 list. If you don't, we should lookup the user ID from the server.

 However, this is difficult to do because msim_normalize expects a reply
 immediately, and msim_lookup_user works by sending a request to the
 server, then calling a provided callback function when the reply is
 received. It wouldn't be best to block the whole program waiting for a
 reply from msim_normalize. Maybe prpl_info->normalize could be made
 asynchronous?
