[jdev] differentiated karma in jabber1.x

[Matthias Wimmer]

Hi Larry!

Please request this as an enhancement feature on 
http://bugzilla.jabberd.org/ - But probably I'll implement it in a way 
that you can define different karma settings for special hosts. I guess 
this solves your problem as well and is more flexible.
