[JDEV] AIM-T Buddy List Import

I'm running AIM-T 0.9.23 and it doesn't appear to 
import buddy list contacts from AIM.  Is it supposed 
to?  If not, why not?  Does a newer version import?  
MSN-T seems to.  GAIM imports your buddy list and AFAIK 
it's based on libfaim as well.  It seems it would be 
relatively trivial to add that import process into AIM-
T.  Or not.  What do I know.  ;-)

I just know I have 160 buddies on my AIM buddy list and 
would like to avoid adding those to my roster 
manually!  I suppose I could write something to parse 
AIM's persisted buddy list and throw it in Jabber's XML 
format and add that to my user.xml, but that's just not 
a very sexy solution.
