Add tooltips to groups in the buddy list. The tooltips show the current online buddy count, the total buddy count (for online accounts) and the names of all the accounts which have buddies in the group (both online and offline). There was a ticket filed about the buddy note plugin which complained that since groups don't have tooltips (and thus no way to display the notes) the plugin shouldn't let you add them, this should fix that (the ticket was already closed because the patch in it was no good). I don't think the current account bit of the tooltip is particularly pretty so suggestions or fixes are welcome.
