Actually, it's more all the little bits that glue everything together --
like SASL and whatnot -- which are the pain to implement.  And of course,
while all the XML stuff /works/, there's still the matter of writing actual
wrappers to generate the Jabber XML and parse it back into messages and
other bits of data.  All of which can be done, but if there's a suitable
library for handling /that/ part, it'd speed up the task.  

If not, c'est la vie, I write the code.
