The "/f l" command sent at the beginning is needed only to do a sort of =20
forced refresh... after that we'll be informed of all login/logout of =20
members of our friends list throught private messages (received as a =20
whispear from the user). Also, in the same way, we get info about the =20
channel users are currently in (their joins).

Nothing else for what I saw.

I remember I coded something to update buddies presence... maybe it is =20
in my last patch.

Don't care about this... it's probably caused by bad server policies. A =20
sort of hard anti-flood procedure I think...
