I'm not sure what you mean here. Is statusMessage the same thing as  
away/idle/busy etc? Would people find it useful to have this displayed  
in a tooltip? (I have it displayed in the buddy list anyway...)

That's what I had intended to do, but how do people manage having lots  
of different patches at the same time? I don't think my second patch  
modifies any of the same files as this one, but out of curiosity, what  
should I do if two patches have changes in the same file..? I guess  
it's possible to extract the right bits from the patch file into  
separate files?
