[JDEV] jabber, grove, and communcation infastructure

[Eric Bowersox]

We've done a demo at a couple of trade shows that shows an MP3 jukebox
program remotely controlled by custon Jabber clients...the remotes use
messages to tell the player to play something, and the jukebox server uses
presence to report what song it's playing.  This was a quick & dirty demo
done by our Perl guru, Ryan Eatmon...
