Suggestion: Show count of new PMs on button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We could show the count of unread PMs on the PM button, or even offer a 
background service that polls for new PMs at a configurable interval!

I totally agree with this one, although I would suggest a few additions to the 
server-side API then, if you're up to it?

The changes basically being to have the ability to fetch the number of new 
messages from the server, and -possibly- the ability to fetch the information 
for just the new messages, or even an addition to the PM retrieving API with a 
'since' clause, that could contain the timecode for the last message retrieved, 
and it'd return messages received -after- that date. Then I could make it store 
the messages already received, in the database. It would cut down on the 
traffic needs, methinks? :)

I'll add a call to fetch the number of unread messages to the API

Splitting this into two individual tasks for convenience. ^^
