Summary: MSN Buddy Icon File Existence Check

Initial Comment:
The MSN prpl considers the existence of a buddy_icon 
setting for a buddy in blist.xml to mean that a buddy icon 
exists. If the cache file has been deleted, this causes Gaim 
to fail to retrieve a new buddy icon. 
 
Why would an icon be missing from the cache folder? For 
me, it was because I work with multiple running copies of 
Gaim while developing. They step on each other's toes. For 
others, this situation could happen if the cache folder was 
purged by the user (or one of his scripts) or if the user is 
synchronizing ~/.gaim but excludes the icons folder (e.g. for 
size reasons). I realize these scenarios aren't very 
common, but this is a one-line patch that shouldn't cause 
any problems.
