Output from git-format-patch

On Maemo/MeeGo (at least on the N900) it is impossible to enter "," in the
Account Setup UI, as it is rejected as illegal character. This poses a problem
for protocols that use PurpleAccountUserSplit, because telepathy-haze maps the
account name to one string attribute and that must contain the real Purple
account name *with* ",", e.g. 

   joe.d.user at company.com,DOMAIN\jduser

The attached patch contains a proposal how to map user splits automatically to
multiple fields:

  - backward compatible, i.e. it is only enabled for known protocols that
define a mapping

  - known_protocols_info: add "usersplit1:param1,usersplit2:param2,..." to the
mapping string, one "usersplitX" for each PurpleAccountUserSplit used by the
protocol

  - "param1" is the name visible to the telepathy UI as mandatory parameter

  - when the account is created merge all "usersplitX" fields to the real
Purple account name

I have added "sipe" (http://sipe.sourceforge.net) to the list of known
protocols and used it as an example to test the implementation. The patch is
based on todays git HEAD.
