[Adium-devl] Support for adding new view?

[disposable at infinitenexus.com]

If the disclosable view concept is used I think it'll be relatively  
hard to make the overall view look horrible, because each "part"  
becomes its own functional segment defined by the content rect,  
disclosure button and title. So an info window plugin would need to  
provide a view and a localized title and then handle itself. Thus the  
worse that could happen is a badly laid out section of controls, but  
its contained, and the majority will likely be owned by the core, so  
it should be a negligible impact as ours will be 'best of breed'.  
Disjointed, possibly.

That's my .02, unadjusted.
