This is already implemented in the friends backend, not sure about the
qml wrappers, though (Ken?)

Already implemented in the backend as well.

The like/unlike code was written with the assumption of doing it on
message_ids, however I think facebook just has one global "namespace"
for message ids, people ids, page ids, etc, so it's likely that this
would already work just fine in the backend.

(although I just did a quick check and it doesn't seem like it's
actually working... so I'll have to dig a bit deeper into that soon)

This is currently unimplemented.

That should be there already? Gwibber can already display replies to a
message.

Unimplemented in the backend.

Also unimplemented.

uploading photos is definitely implemented, and deleted messages is
implemented. I expect that the code to delete messages should also
work on deleting photos, however that is untested and might need some
massaging to actually work.

Unimplemented.

Unimplemented.

Searching is implemented, but only for messages, not for people.

Some options will have to go one way, and some the other. I think our
goal with friends is to keep it limited to messages + contacts, so
things like user security settings you'll probably have to do on your
own. But liking people we should probably do in friends.
