[jdev] new XMPP server in Ruby

[Eric Will]

As far as I know the shell business is still pretty busy. I have a shell
with http://www.reverse.net/, and they're really stable and
have a great network with awesome DoS protection. His site doesn't
specifically say that he allows something like `xmppd`, but I'm sure
if I talked to him he wouldn't have a problem, as it's probably far less
resource intensive than IRC.
