Is there some sort of scripting language used by ichat for away messages (and more?!). I was doing a search and I found the following in an old thread which looks like the source for the "whats playing in itunes" status you can set by default:

Here it is:

on idle
_tell application \"itunes\"
__if player state is playing then
___set a to artist of current track
___if a is \"\" then
____set a to \"mysterious unknown music\"
___end if
__else
___set a to \"nothing\"
__end if
_end tell

_tell application \"iChat\"
__set status message to \"listening to \" & a
_end tell

_return 20
end idle
