annotate HACKING @ 25073:8615b929e140

It's wrong, unnecessary, and expensive to use purple_utf8_strcasecmp() here. 1. Wrong because we shouldn't presume to know how the prpl wants their usernames compared 2. Unnecessary because we're already comparing two normalized names (everything in PurpleAccount->permit and PurpleAccount->deny) should be normalized 3. Expensive because MSN calls these functions a lot, and g_utf8_collate and g_utf8_casefold are both pretty expensive
