In msimprpl, for server-side contacts, first search for an existing group on the client before creating one and adding it to the beginning of the list. If there is an existing group, use that. Fixes problem where MySpaceIM groups always move to the top of the buddy list upon sign-on, because they were always created anew. Closes #3378.

2007-08-28 Jeff Connelly <[e-mail]> - 0.17
* Get server-side contact list from server on sign-on (partly implements
  server-side contacts, ticket #2658).
* Set local alias to username on sign-on, if not already set. This fixes
  #2793, though this may not be the best way, other fixes under consideration.
* Support myim:sendIM and addContact URLs with cID and uID parameters.
* Fix #2722, only check for mail if "New mail notifications" is enabled.
* Modularize msimprpl.
* Pidgin 2.1.1 only.

* Add option to add all friends from myspace.com to your buddy list (#2660)
* If a user doesn't have a picture, don't display an icon (instead of
  displaying MySpace's "no photo" icon)
* Fix #2725, a common crash related to buddy icon data
* Fix #2752, which led to duplicate groups
* Fix #2720, crash/disconnect when adding a buddy that doesn't exist
  (You'll now receive an error when looking up invalid usernames).
* Source-code release only.

  release from the previous one. But there were no code changes. I updated
  the text files, too.
* Note: msimprpl will continue to be developed as time permits.
