Feeding user ids, rather than getting all friends

[gruszczy]

Would it be possible to add an option, that accepts ids of users and displays only those users, rather than all friends of a user? That would be extremely useful for me. I know, that I can simply exclude all the users but the ones I want, but that seems like an overkill for me.

I am not a git person, so I won't branch and ask for a pull request. But I have prepared a patch, that adds filter_friends setting, that allows to do what I described in the issue. I don't see any place, where I could attach this patch, so I place it in the comment:

Crap, it didn't work as I expected. Here, this should be better.
