Net::OSCAR::Screenname -- OSCAR screenname class

This class overrides a few operators to transparently get
appropriate behavior for OSCAR screennames.  Screennames
are case-insensitive and whitespace-insensitive.  So, if you
do
        $a = Net::OSCAR::Screenname->new("Some Dude");
        print "Yay!\n" if $a eq "somedude";
will be true.
