[JDEV] Transports and groupchat

[M hirsch]

One way to allow groupchats on the other system is with a gateway application.
 

The idea is that we have a robot application that attaches to the groupchat
and connects to jabber as a client it would then take messages that arrive
from a groupchat and send them to the requested user on the remote system.  

ex:  say the ICQ #10000000  wants to join your group chat,this robot would
have connected to ICQ using num #999999999  so #10000000  would send
a message to #999999999 with a command like /join group at server
This deamon would then join that group and take any message now coming from
the group chat and send it to this user it would also then take any message
from the user and send it to the groupchat group at server

I am not yet planning on writting the above robot. it is a little bit of a
hack in that it would abuse the jabber server a bit though that could be
thought about.
