New group chat feature

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Facebook now offers group chat for the new groups, is it possible to add into 
the plugin? It would be great, so I don't have to have facebook open at all.

Facebook now offers also an "Add friends to Chat" feature, it would be great if 
the new Version of the Miranda IM Facebook Plugin would have that.

Miranda (and most of other IMs) use contact-based messaging storage, thus this 
feature would require hacking how Miranda works, with rapid bunch of code 
related to UI manipulation between "normal" and group messaging. Also, group 
messages cannot be stored internally (logged only). The only IM that partially 
implements conversation-flow-based messaging is Skype, where for group 
conversations there's a special implementation which keeps conversations and 
hooks to participated contacts. This is NOT appliable in Miranda, at least not 
with current messaging schema. That means Miranda is NOT READY for this usage 
and implementing this in separate plugins would be messy hack. I'm not sure 
whether this is worth of time spent on its implementation.
