The mini-dialogs feature now allows you to request profile information for pending invites before accepting them. Since it's an invite there is no PurpleBuddy associated with the user, and therefore we cannot perform the contact-type check. So just skip the check if we cannot find the buddy.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
