Wow, this isn't used. That will save us either 4 bytes or 8 bytes for
each PurpleStatus, depending on whether you're on a 32 bit or 64 bit
OS. We create a full set of PurpleStatuses (between 2 and maybe 10,
depending on the protocol) for each PurplePresence, and each buddy in
your buddylist has a PurplePresence.
Assuming you on a 64 bit machine, you have 200 buddies, and you're
using a protocol with 8 PurpleStatusTypes, this saves you 12KB of
memory. Eh, I guess that's not so bad.
Our status system is pretty memory inefficient right now... we tend
to duplicate a lot of stuff from the PurpleStatusTypes unneccessarily.
I think we can probably get a way with NOT duplicating it and having
PurplePresence and PurpleStatus look through to the PurpleStatusTypes
as appropriate. But it'll break our API a little, so we can't do it
until 3.0.0.
