[Adium-devl] IRC ByObject spam

	If you aren't using IRC in Adium, please ignore this. I just made an  
improvement (assuming it doesn't regress things, anyway...) to  
ByObject prefs handling to avoid writing out empty entries. Because  
*all* entries on IRC were empty or (in the case of /msg) nearly so,  
this mostly improves handling of large channels. I was able to drop my  
ByObject file from somewhere in the 500-600kB range to 236kB by  
manually deleting all my IRC entries.

	Since I expect other people may want to duplicate this, here's the  
steps I used:
	1) plutil -convert xml1 ByObjectPrefs.plist
	2) Open ByObjectPrefs.plist in a text editor, find the first and last  
irc entries, delete everything between
	3) plutil -convert binary1 ByObjectPrefs.plist
