Good point... if it were to work you would need one bot resource per user
connected to the fake MUC.  If you could do that without connecting to the
server a second time, maybe it wouldn't be so hard.

It wouldn't really be efficient since you'd need to spam out one message
to each user when someone sends one message... but at the same time, this
problem already exists in MUC when the conference server isn't attached to
your own server. :-/
