annotate HACKING @ 30853:4ed390927f9d

The Yahoo prpl makes unnecessary callbacks to the Yahoo servers if the buddy's alias is set to the same as their uid when initialising the buddy list. For large buddy lists, this can lock up computers as each callback makes a seperate dns lookup and seperate http request. This patch checks that the buddy's alias isn't the same as their uid (something which seems to be fairly normal) before making the callback. This speeds up initial logins to the Yahoo service. Fixes #12532. committer: John Bailey <rekkanoryo@rekkanoryo.org>
