[hobbit] purple clients problem + multiple hosts

just before I start to create several client installations dynamically 
started: Is there any chance you will extend this feature to something like

"CLIENT:sieglinde:elfriede:kasimir"

so that messages are send once for each name? This would resolve our 
multiple hosts problem?

kind regards
Rolf
