[patch] Skype protocol: DISPLAYNAME

[mk@…]

This is a patch providing a bit of new functionality but also fixing one particular bug (see bellow). I've decided to file this together as "enhancement".

If one renames skype contact in skype client (to keep the name with skype so it's centralized), this information is not read by BitlBee and hence can't be used for nick names.

Here I provide a patch with following functionality:

• read DISPLAYNAME which corresponds to the name you've attached to your skype contact manually through skype client

• Display Name is available through "info" command

• Display Name (if specified) takes precedence over Full Name and is passed on in place of Full Name, so nick_format = %full_name will get you Display Name with Full Name as a fallback

• fix bug which caused only offline contacts to receive correct %full_name-based nick names

Patch can be found also at <​https://github.com/mkoskar/pkgbuilds/tree/master/bitlbee-skype-displayname-patch>.

Looks reasonable -- could you please add a testcase for your change? See ​http://code.bitlbee.org/lh/bitlbee/view/head:/protocols/skype/HACKING#L21 for detailed instructions on how to add a testcase.

Thanks! :-)
