Set the server alias for myspace buddies who haven't set their username. This just keeps us from showing their less-than-useful user id. I really feel like myspace buddy names should be their ID#, and we should set their server alias to either their user name or their display name. The way we do it now we have to do a LOT of tricks and callbacks and stuff to lookup the username before adding users to the buddy list. It just doesn't seem worth it. The server alias exists for a reason.

This program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send, 
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
