[JDEV] Mux mod_farm

[Thomas Muldowney]

My best statement to everything you have said is:  "prototype"
Although that everything is moving that way for 1.0 it is moving very very
differently for 1.1.  1.1 will implement a new jabber server dubbed jabberd
which has a lot of this more built in.  There should be the initial 1.1 release
in a very short time frame and from there things will grow much more rapidly.

So experimentation and idea generating is done, time to implement it more fully
but I don't know how back porting will work, because jabberd is extremely
different.
