Added comment about eventually needing a way to distinguish intial presence received upon logging in (to be able to disregard idle time when there is no delayed element on an initial presence, in which case we don't know when the buddy became idle).

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.
