That's a good idea.  The accountside method for Gaim is already  
implemented, in CBGaimAccount... the name is dumb, though, and it  
obviously needs to have a stub in the superclass before it can be  
used generally.

// **XXX** Not used at present. Do we want to?
- (BOOL)shouldSendAutoresponsesWhileAway
{
	if (account && account->gc) {
		return (account->gc->flags & GAIM_CONNECTION_AUTO_RESP);
	}
	
	return NO;
}

I think it'd be nice to have the method be a query for a particular  
action... so if a protocol handled "/join" but not "/me" we'd know  
what to do in both cases.  Right now there's some slightly awkward  
code in place in the gaim plugin which checks this after a message is  
sent so that we can have better handling of it than the gaim way,  
which is hardcoded to throw an error if you type an action which  
isn't supported... which strikes me as really silly because if I'm an  
AIM user and would never think that /join should be a command I would  
be definitely annoyed to find I simply can't send that because "That  
action is not supported on this protocol."
