[Erc-help] Proposed patch for erc-nicklist.el and erc-bbdb.el

[Michael O. <mw...@gn...>]

I'd like to merge some changes to erc-nicklist.el and erc-bbdb.el that
were proposed by Edgar Gonçalves.  The diff is attached.  Does anyone
object to my merging this tomorrow?

A quick summary follows.

erc-bbdb.el:

 - Add new field `bitlbee-name', which is the name that the given
   contact specifies in their AIM/MSN/ICQ settings.

 - When querying a new person, ask if we want to add them to the
   database, rather than making a new record immediately.  Merging
   with an existing record is allowed.  For /join and /nick, the old
   behavior is preserved.

erc-nicklist:

 - Nicks have icon that shows connection type.
 - Sorting enhancements.
 - Tooltips.

This also involves checking in some simple status-related PNG icons to
a newly-created /images directory.  They were taken from gaim.  Gaim
is under the GPL, and no specific mention was made of the images in
gaim's documentation, so I think it's safe to assume that we can
include the images without trouble.
