  We will eventually have a 'service' that plugs into jserver that will support 
HTTP transactions, and I'm guessing HTTPS wouldn;t be a far modification from 
that..

  MSIM is still up in the air, but we have some leads.  AIM is checked into CVS 
and reportedly working well.  I'm unsure of the status of ICQ, but I believe 
it's not far off.  I've hashed together a Yahoo transport that will log in, 
etc, for users, but it's still very alphaish, but won't take to long to make 
fully available.  Really, all it needs to do is start loading users 
dynamically, and connect/disconnect on presence messages..
