 Replying to [comment:43 adk]:
 > I built this plugin for Linux, I really like how it allows you to
 configure which buddies to hide!
 > I had a few questions about it:
 > First, I had to add "#define PURPLE_PLUGINS" at the beginning of the
 plugin to get it to work correctly, otherwise it would complain about it
 not calling purple_init_plugin, was this intended to be in there in the
 first place?
 > Second, Is there a reason that it does not hide the buddies all right
 away? it hides them all as soon as the arrow indicating they signed on
 goes away (i noticed this immediately when it initially showed all of the
 mobile buddies on my list, then removed them all one by one as the arrow
 cleared), is that intended?

 It doesn't have #define cause on my linux machine, I didn't see any such
 warning/error message.
 Second one was intended. I think that is better. I mean cases where you
 are watching buddy list or something, its better to know who is going
 away/buddy/offline etc. Think inactive plugin as adding a control over who
 would you treat as offline.
