Well, I removed 'http://jabber.org/protocol/caps' from "S" because I
couldn't duplicate the results any other way. :) Typically I generate
the hashes using this command:

  echo -n 'S' | openssl dgst -binary -sha1 | openssl enc -nopad -base64

However, that doesn't work for this example because it has the Greek
character Ψ in the string and that character is not properly encoded at
the command line on my system. IIRC Joe Hildebrand generated that hash
for me using Jabber-Net.
