[jdev] Case sensitive & jid

[Remy HAREL]

Hi M at tthias ;)

  I don't understand why I would have to use x-prep profiles, I make the 
md5 sum of the jid_full(sess->jid) and it works fine. Yet, my problem is 
to know if remy at gabber.gicm.net/Gabber and Remy at gabber.gicm.net/Gabber 
are the same users or not. If they are, my md5 sum is perfect, but if 
not, I would have to use your x-prep profile.

  Am I wrong ??

  Thanks, good week-end
