I took a look at your patch, and I was quite happy to see getUUIDbyName!

Looks like you've partially implemented one of my JIRAs...
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3596

The only thing your patch is missing to match VWR-3596 is two Menu
entrys: Offer Calling Card & Add to Conference Chat.

Also, the context menu should be added to users in the userlist
sidebar in Group IM sessions & Near Me.

I could probably hack up some XUI for your patch, but I'm lost for the C++ side.

How much work would it be for you to add the C++ side?
