I was thinking to implement the same way the gnome-do plugins does. It 
seems to do that in a very simple way by parsing the .purple/blist.xml 
config file.

It is possible i guess from there to check via dbus the availibity of 
the contact.

I can have a try at this, what is the best way to start hacking on 
kupfer ? I mean aside of the docs and the code example, is Kupfer 
support autoreloading the plugin or need to do a restart all the time?
