There's a Perl XMPP transport [1] written by Bruce Campbell while we
were waiting for Google to enable s2s.  I haven't tried it, but I
think it only allows a single registration at a time.

Phycon (a buddy of mine) talks [2] about XMPP transports as 'hat
racks' - providing the user the ability to login to many other xmpp
accounts via a transport.  (Very similar to how the pyirct transport
allows you to login to many irc networks at once)
