annotate HACKING @ 24796:c2054d8d23fc

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.
