 * a list of user defined away messages.
 * This class is used by KopeteAwayDialog, which gets it's
 * list of user-defined away messages from this.  Protocol
 * plugins' individual away dialogs should also get away
 * messages from this object.
 *
 * It also handle global Idle Time, and all auto away stuff
