Changes (by jeff):

  * priority:  blocker => trivial
  * summary:  msimprpl makes duplicate groups when importing friends =>
              libpurple lets you add buddies to blist inside
              groups that aren't on blist; leads to duplicate
              groups

Comment:

 From #pidgin:
 {{{
 <sadrul> jeff2: for new groups, you need to purple_blist_add_group
 }}}

 And this does work.

 But the problem in libpurple remains - you shouldn't be able to call
 purple_blist_add_buddy() with a group that isn't in the blist. This should
 always fail, instead of giving strange results (duplicate groups on buddy
 list that disappear after restarting Pidgin).
