[JDEV] Transports and groupchat

[Thomas Charron]

    Basically, no.  This is becouse other systems don't have any idea of an
'external' entity that doesn't belong to their own system.

    There could be a solution, if someone really wanted to dig into it.  One
*could* build a aimserver-t, which could emulate an AIM server and allow AIM
clients to connect natively to Jabber.  Would probrably be a fairly large,
but perhaps worthwhile undertaking..
