 accounts by password.

 ideal would be that one could name eachconnection and that the combination
 of name, server, nick and port.

 Running bip at home, the server's hostname is a dyndns entry, making 4
 dyndns entries for one host (as bip serves 4 IRC networks for me) and
 updating them all every 24 hours is a tad messy.

 If my use case is way out of the scope of the crowd pidgin tries to serve,
 this bug can be CLOSED WONTFIX. But if you consider the use case
 reasonable, please leave the bug open. I am not so much looking for a fix
 right away but rather for pidgin to be one of the clients I use against
 bip at some point in the future.
