#14949: Duplicate buddies in single contact

 It seems like Pidgin is unable to detect and merge multiple buddies inside
 a single contact.

 Let's say I have 2 Google accounts and my contact has only a single one.

 So instead of the corret list:
 {{{
 - Hello World
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself1 at googlemail.com)
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself2 at googlemail.com)
 }}}


 I sometimes get the following list:
 {{{
 - Hello World
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself1 at googlemail.com)
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself2 at googlemail.com)
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself1 at googlemail.com)
   - hello.world at googlemail.com (myself2 at googlemail.com)
 }}}

 It would be great if Pidgin could automatically reduce/merge those
 duplicates. That shoudln't actually be too hard, because all this is
 happening in the same contact and there is no need to take care for
 different groups, etc.

 Basically the unique identifier in a contacts buddy list would be
 something like the following:
 {{{
 hash(account + buddy)
 }}}


 Thanks in advance!
